Bold, boozy, and island-inspired!
These Jamaican Me Crazy Jello Shots are a hit at any gathering—from beach parties to neon-lit birthday bashes. With their tropical purple hue, fruity flavor, and a cheeky kick of vodka and blue curaçao, these shots are as fun to look at as they are to eat.
🧪 Ingredients (Makes ~12–16 Shots):
- 1 box (3 oz / 85g) grape or berry blue Jell-O
(for that signature bold purple color) - 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup vodka
(regular or flavored, like citrus or berry) - ¼ cup blue curaçao
(adds citrus flavor and enhances color) - ¼ cup cranberry juice
(for tartness and extra tropical depth) - Optional garnish:
- Orange or lemon zest twist
- Tropical gummy candy or a mini fruit skewer
- Cocktail umbrellas for flair 🌴
🍸 How to Make It:
- Prepare the Jell-O Base
In a mixing bowl, stir the Jell-O powder with 1 cup boiling water until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes). - Add the Boozy Blend
Mix in the vodka, blue curaçao, and cranberry juice. Stir gently to combine. - Pour Into Molds
Carefully pour the liquid into shot-sized plastic cups or silicone molds. Tip: Set them on a tray for easy transport. - Chill & Set
Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or until fully set. - Garnish & Serve
Before serving, top with zest curls, tropical gummies, or mini umbrellas for island vibes.
🌴 Tips for the Best Jello Shots:
- Use 100% cranberry juice for a slightly tarter flavor, or cocktail cranberry for more sweetness.
- Want extra tropical punch? Add a splash of pineapple juice in place of some vodka.
- For a layered look: let the first color layer set halfway, then add another flavor on top.
🥳 Perfect For:
- House parties & BBQs
- Tropical-themed nights
- Birthdays or game day
- Bachelorette or beach parties
These shots are fun, festive, and dangerously delicious—so serve responsibly and enjoy the island mood! 🌊🍸🌺
