Why We Love These Halloween Shots
It’s Unique – No plastic cups needed – the unique syringe delivery method is what makes this recipe special. These shots are super fun and a great addition to any party.
Make a Kid-Friendly Version – You can make a non-alcoholic version of these by simply omitting the vodka and preparing the Jello according to the package directions. Kids will go nuts for this fun and playful way to eat Jello.
Easy to Eat – The only downside to traditional Jello shots is how awkward it can be to get the Jello out of the cups. One of the best things about syringe Jello shots is that they release the Jello easily with no mess.
Ingredients
- Cherry Jello mix (you can also use strawberry Jello) – the base for your shots.
- Water, divided – dissolves the Jello and helps it to set.
- Vodka – adds the boozy fun!
- Syringes for Jello shots – the fun delivery method for your shots.
How to Make Syringe Jello Shots
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, then whisk the cherry jello powder into the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 2: Add one cup of cold water to the Jello mixture.
Step 3: Add one cup vodka. Whisk to combine.
Step 4: Fill the plastic syringes with the Jello mixture and place them on a plate or cookie sheet. Put the Jello syringes in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3-4 hours or until the Jello is set.
Tips & Tricks
- You can reuse the syringes – just be sure to wash them thoroughly using a fine bristle brush or buy the dishwasher-safe kind and put them in the dishwasher.
- Change up the flavor of the Jello to get a variety of shots. The red Jello is a fun choice for Halloween since they look like bloody syringes, but orange, grape and lime Jello are all great Halloween themed colors too.
- Be careful not to add too much alcohol, as this could prevent your shots from setting properly.
- Can’t find syringes? You can also serve these in 2 ounce Jello shot cups.
Absolutely! You can make rum jello shots or even make these with tequila or Fireball Whisky.
You’ll want to get syringes that are specifically made for drink and dessert recipes. Look for products that are labeled food grade or food safe. We found our syringes on Amazon but you can also find them at your local party stores.
Keep them refrigerated and they should last 3-5 days, similar to any other kind of Jello shot.
