Yield: This recipe makes 16 (1-ounce) shots or 8 (2-ounce) shots.

Don’t boil the gelatin mixture or else the alcohol could burn off.
Vanilla vodka is key to adding sweetness to these jello shots– if you use plain vodka, you’ll need to add ¼ cup of granulated sugar to the gelatin and water in step 2.
Let the liquid for the jello shots cool to room temperature before pouring into shot glasses. If it’s too hot, it could melt plastic shot glasses or crack glass ones.
Wait to add the whipped cream until just before serving. If left out for too long, it will melt off.
Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.

Storage: Store Grinch jello shots covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Wait to garnish with whipped cream until just before serving.
