Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 1 3-ounce box strawberry Jello
- 1 ¼ cups boiling water
- ¾ cup red berry vodka
Decoration
- Sugar eyeball candies, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Jello: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry jello powder with 1 ¼ cups of boiling water. Stir continuously until the jello powder is completely dissolved to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Add the Vodka: Pour in ¾ cup of red berry vodka into the dissolved jello mixture. Stir thoroughly to blend the alcohol evenly throughout the mixture.
- Fill the Shot Cups: Arrange your shot glasses or small cups in a straight line for easy filling. Pour the jello mixture into each cup, filling them almost to the top but leaving a small gap to avoid spilling during transport.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled shot cups in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least two hours or until the jello shots are fully set and firm.
- Add the Eyeball Topping: Just before serving, gently place one sugar eyeball candy in the center on top of each jello shot, creating a spooky eyeball effect that is sure to impress your guests.
Notes
- For a stronger alcohol flavor, you can adjust the vodka amount slightly, but be careful not to add too much as it may prevent the jello from setting properly.
- Use clear or red shot glasses to enhance the red color and creepy look of the eyeball shots.
- Sugar eyeball candies can be found at specialty baking or party stores, or online.
- Store leftover jello shots in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best taste and texture.
- To avoid spilling, fill the cups with space left at the top and handle gently when moving them to the fridge.
