Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

???? 1 box (3 oz) grape-flavored gelatin (Jell-O or similar)
???? 1 cup boiling water – To dissolve the gelatin
???? ½ cup vodka – Plain or grape-flavored for an extra punch
???? ½ cup cold grape soda – Adds fizz and flavor
???? (Optional) 2 tbsp grape juice concentrate – For deeper grape flavor
???? (Optional) Whipped cream, for topping
???? Grape Nerds, sprinkles, or gummy grapes, for garnish
???? 2 oz plastic condiment cups with lids, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Boil water
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Step 2: Dissolve gelatin
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the grape gelatin with the boiling water. Stir for 1–2 minutes until completely dissolved and smooth.

Step 3: Add alcohol and soda
Once gelatin is dissolved, stir in:

½ cup vodka
½ cup cold grape soda
(Optional) 2 tbsp grape juice concentrate for extra flavor

Stir gently to maintain some of the soda’s fizz.

Step 4: Pour into cups
Carefully pour the mixture into 2 oz plastic condiment cups. You should get about 10–12 shots.

Step 5: Chill and set
Place cups in the fridge for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) until fully set.

Step 6: Garnish & serve
Top each shot with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of Nerds, a gummy grape, or a purple straw before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

These jello shots are forgiving, but a few tips help make them perfect every time:

Don’t boil the soda—add it after the boiling water to retain the fizz
Use cold soda, not room temperature, to help gelatin set faster
Want stronger shots? Use ¾ cup vodka and ¼ cup soda, but they’ll take longer to firm
