Ingredients

• 1 box flavored gelatin (3 oz / 85 g): Choose cherry, raspberry, or strawberry for a vibrant red color and fruity base.
• 1 cup boiling water (240 ml): Helps dissolve the gelatin completely.
• 1/2 cup cold water (120 ml): Balances the flavor and cools down the mixture before adding alcohol.
• 1/2 cup vodka (120 ml): Regular vodka works well, but flavored options like berry, cherry, or vanilla add a fun twist.
• Optional garnish: Whipped cream, candy, or sprinkles to decorate and add sweetness.

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the gelatin
Boil 1 cup of water and pour it into a medium heatproof mixing bowl. Add the packet of flavored gelatin. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes, making sure the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2 – Mix in cold water and vodka
Add 1/2 cup of cold water to slightly cool the mixture, then pour in 1/2 cup of vodka. Stir well to combine so the alcohol is evenly distributed and doesn’t separate.

Step 3 – Pour into containers
Place 12–14 small plastic shot cups, silicone molds, or mini dessert glasses on a tray for stability. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into each cup, filling about 3/4 full to leave space for garnish later.

Step 4 – Refrigerate until set
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for 2–4 hours. The shots should be firm, jiggly, and easy to pop out of the mold or scoop with a spoon. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture.

Step 5 – Garnish and serve
Just before serving, top each jelly shot with a swirl of whipped cream, a candy, or sprinkles for a festive touch. Serve cold and enjoy responsibly!

Variation Ideas for Sweet Sin Jelly Shots

• Layered Colors: Use two or three different flavored gelatins in layers. Let each layer set in the fridge for 30–45 minutes before adding the next for a rainbow effect.
• Fruity Twist: Add small fruit pieces (like raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries) into the gelatin before it sets for extra flavor and texture.
• Creamy Version: Mix in a layer of sweetened condensed milk or coconut cream before chilling for a creamy jelly shot.
• Different Alcohols: Swap vodka for flavored liqueurs, rum, tequila, or even champagne for a unique twist.
• Candy Garnishes: Top with gummy worms, edible glitter, or candy pearls to make them festive for parties or holidays.

Tips for Success

• Dissolve completely: Stir the gelatin thoroughly in boiling water to ensure a smooth texture with no grainy bits.
• Chill patiently: Allow enough time for the shots to set fully—rushing them may affect their firmness.
• Use quality gelatin: Flavored gelatin packets with vivid colors enhance presentation and taste.
• Customize flavors carefully: Balance alcohol and gelatin so the shots are flavorful but still set properly.
• Garnish creatively: Small decorative touches like whipped cream or candy make your shots more visually appealing.

• Party platter: Arrange the Sweet Sin Jelly Shots on a colorful tray with matching cocktail napkins for a fun presentation.
