Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 oz Package of Jello (flavor of choice) I chose cherry
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ¾ cup rum, vodka or other liquor of choice
  • ¼ cup cold water

Equipment

  • Plastic Syringes 2-ounce capacity; one per shot, plus a few spare

Method
 

  1. Add boiling water to a large bowl along with the Jello packet and mix until dissolved.
  2. Add liquor and cold water and mix.
  3. While the mixture is still liquid, draw it into the syringes, filling each to about 2 ounces (60 mL), then replace the caps to prevent leaks. The original batch makes approximately 8 full syringes; use more syringes when scaling up. If you have a little mixture left over, pour it into a small shot cup.
  4. Refrigerate the capped syringes on a tray for at least 3 hours, or until fully set. Overnight works well too! Remove the caps before serving and enjoy chilled.

Notes

Approximate yield: The original batch starts with 2 cups (16 US fl oz) of liquid and makes about 8 full 2-ounce syringes, or about 16 smaller 1-ounce portions in half-filled syringes. Dissolved gelatin adds some volume, so you may have a little left over. Actual yield depends on fill level and filling losses. Double or triple the ingredients for about 16 or 24 full syringes.
Nutrition: Estimates are based on dividing the original batch into 8 full shots. Half-filled, 1-ounce portions have approximately half the listed nutrition. Values vary with the gelatin and liquor used.
Here are some of my favorite Halloween Jello shot combinations:
  • Cherry Jello + Whipped Vodka
  • Strawberry Jello + Rum
  • Lime Jello + Coconut Rum
  • Orange Jello + Tequila
  • Grape Jello + Vanilla Vodka
This Halloween Punch is my favorite large batch Halloween drink to serve at my Halloween party every year!
