Basic Jello Shot Formula

Here is the most basic formula for making jello shots — or, indeed, any jello bite, with or without alcohol.

(1 cup liquor + 1 cup non-alcoholic liquid (can be fruit or vegetable Juice!)+ 2 envelopes (5 1/2 teaspoons) gelatin powder) x 4 hours chilling time = 16 1-ounce Jello Shots

This formula shows the maximum amount of alcohol you can use in jello shots. Alcohol can interfere with the setting properties of gelatin, so don’t increase the proportion of alcohol to non-alcoholic liquid past this.

You can, however, decrease the amount of alcohol. The maximum formula makes pretty strong shots; each has 1/2 ounce of hard liquor. That is honestly a little more than I like in a party treat. You can decrease the alcohol as much as you like, or use lower-alcohol beverages, like sweet wine or vermouth. The gelatin quantity won’t change.

And of course you can make these with no alcohol at all! I love fresh fruit jellies made with fresh juice or tea; they’re beautiful and can be healthy, with no added sugar.

Folks, Jell-O doesn’t have a monopoly on gelatin; you can gelatinize just about any liquid, even your own homemade juices and local artisanal gin, using plain, unflavored gelatin like those in the packets from Knox.

You can make jello jigglers, layered desserts, and yes, jello shots, out of any liquid you like, mixed with some alcohol and plain gelatin. It’s easy as a snap, and if you do something special like make your own lemonade, or use a fruit puree, even better.

One other way to make jello shots a little better, in my opinion, is to reduce the alcohol content. Slamming a full ounce of liquor in one teeny bite of jello is all well and good in one’s party years, when you have the constitution and metabolism to match your post-adolescent hormones and all-nighter stamina. But most of us have, ahem, grown up a little since then, and I prefer a much more modest ratio of alcohol in these shots. It’s not very nice to get drunk accidentally.
