    Tips

    • For a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka with pineapple juice.
    • Use clear plastic cups to showcase the vibrant yellow color of the jello.
    • To easily remove the jello shots, run a knife around the edge of the cup or dip the bottom in warm water for 5 seconds.

    Instructions

    I love making these for summer parties and beach vacations because they're always a hit with guests!

    Pineapple jello shot topped with whipped cream and a small pineapple wedge in a plastic shot cup.

    Prepare the cups

    Arrange the plastic cups on a shallow baking sheet in a single layer.

    Pouring powdered gelatin into a saucepan with hot liquid for the pineapple jello shot mixture.

    Boil

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the Jello mix until fully dissolved.

    Pouring water into the pineapple gelatin mixture while whisking it.

    Stir

    Stir in 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of vodka. Mix well.

    Pouring the liquid jello shot mixture into small plastic cups lined on a baking sheet.

    Divide

    Carefully divide the jello mixture evenly between the cups.

    Chill

    Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the jello is set.

    Storage instructions

    Store the jello shots covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep them in a single layer to prevent sticking or spilling.

    Melted Shooters?

    No one likes a soupy shooter, but it happens from time to time.If they've been left out and melted, you can re-chill them, but the texture may not be as firm.

    Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can I use fresh pineapple?

    Fresh pineapple contains enzymes that prevent jello from setting, so canned pineapple is recommended.

    How long do jello shots last?

    Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
