Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-ounce) box lime Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup vodka
- 24 edible candy eyeballs
- Green sanding sugar (optional, for rims)
- Corn syrup or simple syrup (for rimming cups)
- Whipped cream (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Arrange twelve 2-ounce plastic shot cups on a baking sheet.
- Pour the lime Jello powder into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Stir in the cold water followed by the vodka until fully combined.
- If desired, lightly coat the rims of each shot cup with corn syrup and dip into green sanding sugar.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into each prepared shot cup.
- Refrigerate for about 45 minutes, or until the gelatin has slightly thickened.
- Gently press two or three candy eyeballs into each shot so they appear to float near the top.
- Return to the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or until completely set.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream and extra candy eyeballs if desired.
Notes
- Add the candy eyeballs after the jello begins to thicken so they don’t sink to the bottom.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Do not freeze.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka with an additional ½ cup cold water or lemon-lime soda.
- Do not increase the alcohol beyond a 1:1 liquid ratio or the gelatin may not fully set.
