Boozy, colorful, and packed with explosive fun—these shots are a guaranteed conversation starter!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flavored vodka (e.g., strawberry, blue raspberry, watermelon)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 (3 oz) box Jello (match flavor to vodka)
- 1 cup cold water
- 2–3 packets of Pop Rocks candy (assorted flavors or to match Jello)
- Shot glasses or mini plastic cups
Instructions:
- Dissolve the Jello:
- In a heatproof mixing bowl, combine the boiling water with the Jello powder.
- Stir for about 2 minutes, until the Jello is completely dissolved.
- Mix in the Booze:
- Add the cold water and flavored vodka to the bowl. Stir until fully combined.
- Pour and Chill:
- Carefully pour the mixture into shot glasses or small plastic cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is fully set.
- Add the Pop Rocks:
- Right before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of Pop Rocks on top of each shot.
- Serve immediately—Pop Rocks will start to pop and melt on contact with the Jello.
⚠️ Tips for Success:
- Don’t add Pop Rocks too early—they’ll lose their fizz if they sit too long.
- If you want to keep things less sticky, serve the Pop Rocks in mini pouches or on the side for dipping.
- For an added flair, rim the cups with corn syrup and dip in crushed Pop Rocks!
