FAQs

Q: Can I use different types of alcohol?

A: Absolutely! While vodka is a common choice due to its neutral flavor, feel free to experiment with other liquors you enjoy.

Q: What if I want to make these non-alcoholic?

A: Simply replace the vodka with cold water or a clear, non-alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Q: Are there vegetarian or vegan options? A: Yes, you can substitute unflavored gelatin with agar-agar, a plant-based gelatin substitute.

Tips and Tricks

  1. For a more aesthetic presentation, try layering different colors of the Skittles mixture in the shot glasses to create a rainbow effect.
  2. Experiment with the new and different Skittles flavors to add an extra kick to your shots.

Storing and Freezing Methods

If you have leftovers, tightly cover the shot glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate. These jello shots should last for up to three days in the fridge. If you’d like to make them in advance for a party, you can freeze them. Just remove the shots from the freezer about an hour before serving to let them thaw slightly.

What To Serve With These Fun Treats

While Skittles Jello Shots are primarily a fun party dessert or cocktail, they can be paired with light finger foods. Cheese platters, fruit kabobs, or mini sliders would work perfectly. Remember, these shots are sweet, so pairing them with savory snacks can balance flavors beautifully.

Great Places to Serve These Skittles Jello Shots

Skittles Jello Shots are the ultimate party pick-me-up, making them great for birthday parties, backyard barbecues, pool parties, or even game nights. Moreover, they’d be an unexpected and playful addition to a formal cocktail party.
