Now, with Halloween just around the corner, I decided to give gelatin shot syringes a try! These unique shots are a great way to liven up a party any time of year but what could be better than these fun Halloween syringe shots?!

This bright red version is made with cherry gelatin and vodka, and it’s perfect for your next Halloween party. The novelty of these spooky and creative shots practically guarantees that they’ll be the most popular treat at the party. Be sure to make lots of these, because they never last long!

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 gelatin according to the package directions.

Easy to Eat – The only downside to traditional shots is how awkward it can be to get them out of the cups. One of the best things about these is that they release the gelatin easily with no mess.

Ingredients

• Cherry Jello mix (you can also use strawberry Jello) – the base for your shots.
• Water, divided – dissolves the gelatin 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 Gelatin Shots

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, then whisk the cherry gelatin powder into the boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 2: Add one cup of cold water and mix well.

Step 3: Add one cup vodka. Whisk to combine.

Step 4: Fill the plastic syringes and place them on a plate or cookie sheet. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3-4 hours or until the gelatin 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 to get a variety of shots. Red is a fun choice for Halloween since they look like bloody syringes, but orange, grape and lime 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 plastic shot cups.
