🥄 How to Make Starburst Jello Shots

Step One: Prepare the Shot Mixture

• Bring water to boil in a medium saucepan.
• Add the Jello mix and stir until dissolved.
• Add Cool Whip and vodka to the Jello mixture and stir until combined.

Step Two: Garnish and Chill

• Pour the mixture into shot cups (2 oz.) and place them on a baking sheet.
• Transfer the shots to the refrigerator to chill for 6 hours.
• Garnish with a pink Starburst candy and serve.

Tips and Suggestions

• If you don’t have Jello shot cups, you can use plastic shot glasses or any small plastic cups.
• Spray a bit of non-stick spray in your shot cups before filling them to prevent the Jello from sticking to the cup.
• Store the vodka in the freezer before use. It will help your Jello to set more quickly.

Variations

• Substitute a different variety of Starburst Jello for the strawberry to make these fun shots in a different flavor and color.
• If you don’t have Starburst candies on hand, you can garnish these shots with whipped cream and pink sprinkles.
• Try a strawberry or whipped cream flavored vodka in place of the plain vodka. You could also use a strawberry liqueur.

How Do I Store Starburst Jello Shots?

Store them covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Jello shots will keep for up to 5 days after you make them, but they’ll taste best if consumed within 1-2 days.

How Long Can I Keep them at Room Temperature?

You can keep them out of the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. If your party is going to last longer than that, it’s a good idea to only serve a few at a time and refill as needed.
