These vibrant Green Jello Shots are the perfect adult treat just in time for all your St. Patrick’s Day festivities. They’re an easy, delicious, and funky twist on regular cocktail recipes that’s sure to be a huge hit with all of your party guests!
Ingredients
- 6 ounces lime Jell-O two 3 oz. boxes
- 3 cups water divided into boiling and cold
- 8 ounces Jameson Irish Whiskey
- Whipped cream for garnish
- Green sprinkles for decoration
- Silicone molds Christmas tree-shaped
Instructions
- Boil It Up: Start by boiling 2 cups of water. Once it’s bubbling, remove it from heat and stir in the lime gelatin until it dissolves completely.
- Cool It Down: Add 1 cup of cold water along with your chosen alcohol. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour Into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone tree molds. For an added wow factor, spray the molds lightly with cooking spray first—it helps the jello pop out easily later.
- Chill Out: Pop the molds into the fridge for 2–4 hours, or until the jello sets firmly.
- Garnish & Serve: Once set, unmold the trees onto a platter. Top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of festive red or gold sprinkles.
- Voila! You’ve got yourself Instagram-worthy Tree Jello Shots that will be the talk of the evening.
Notes
- For best results, use the little plastic cups specifically made for jello shots.
- Don’t be tempted to use only alcohol and no water; hot water is essential for the gelatin to set properly.
- You can make these in advance and they will stay fresh for a couple of days if loosely covered.
