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.
