Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Jello Base
  • 1 box (3 oz) Berry Blue Jell-O
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 0.5 cup cold water
  • 0.5 cup vodka chilled
Decoration
  • 20 Peach Ring Gummies
  • 20 Gummy Bears

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Liquid Measuring Cup
  • 2oz Plastic Shot Cups
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Arrange 20 plastic shot cups on a baking sheet to make transporting them easier.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Berry Blue Jell-O powder and 1 cup of boiling water. Whisk for 2 minutes until the powder is completely dissolved.
  3. Add the 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of vodka to the mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour the blue gelatin mixture into the shot cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 to 2 hours, until the Jello is semi-set (thick but not solid).
  6. Remove from fridge. Place one peach ring on top of the Jello in each cup, and place a gummy bear inside the ring so it looks like it is floating.
  7. Return to the refrigerator for at least 2 more hours, or until completely firm.
  8. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

If making for kids, replace the vodka with an extra 1/2 cup of cold water or white grape juice.
