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.
