How to make Pot o’ Gold Jello Shots

Begin by thoroughly chilling the Whipped flavored vodka in the freezer.

This will help the jello shot set up.

Tips for the best Jello Shots

  • Use very hot liquid (boiling) to dissolve your Jello powder in.
  • Use very cold liquor to promote the set up.
  • Do not freeze Jello Shots.
  • They can be made up to two days in advance and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.

How to take a Jello Shot:

Use a finger to loosen the Jello Shot from the plastic portion cup or shot glass before tipping it into your mouth.

Chew the shot to fully enjoy the flavors before swallowing.

Enjoy!
