Base Ingredients
- 1 package apple-flavored gelatin (about 3 oz)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup caramel syrup or sauce
- 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 1/2 cup vodka or apple-flavored liquor
- Prepare the Gelatin Base: Begin by boiling water and dissolving the apple-flavored gelatin powder fully, stirring until no granules remain to ensure a smooth texture.
- Mix in the Caramel Sauce: Stir in the caramel syrup or sauce while the gelatin is still warm, allowing the sweetness to blend uniformly and create the signature flavor.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the apple cider or juice and your chosen liquor—vodka or apple-flavored liquor—and mix gently to blend the flavors without creating bubbles.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the mixture evenly into small shot glasses or silicone molds, leaving a little space for easy handling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once firm, serve chilled, optionally garnished with mini apple slices or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra flair.
Notes
- Use freshly boiled water to help the gelatin dissolve completely for a clean set.
- Don’t rush chilling; allow at least 4 hours in the refrigerator for the shots to set firmly.
- Balance the amount of alcohol carefully; too much liquor can prevent the gelatin from setting properly.
- Use silicone molds for easy removal and neat presentation, especially for unique shapes.
- Store jello shots covered in the refrigerator to prevent drying out or absorbing odors.
