Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 1 box strawberry jello (3 ounce package)
- 1¼ cups boiling water
- ¾ cup red berry flavored vodka
Decoration
- 9 bloodshot eye candies
Instructions
- Prepare Jello Liquid: In a heat-safe bowl, dissolve the entire 3-ounce package of strawberry jello into 1¼ cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved to ensure a smooth set.
- Add Vodka: Once the jello mixture has cooled slightly but remains liquid, stir in ¾ cup of red berry flavored vodka. Mixing when slightly cooled prevents the alcohol from evaporating while ensuring it blends well.
- Pour into Molds: Pour the jello and vodka mixture evenly into a mold or individual shot cups. To create the eyeball shapes, use round molds if available.
- Chill and Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the jello shots are firmly set and no longer jiggle.
- Add Eyeball Decorations: Once set, carefully place one bloodshot eye candy on the top of each jello shot to create a spooky eyeball effect. Press them slightly into the jello so they adhere but remain prominent.
- Serve: Remove from the molds if needed and serve chilled. These jello shots are best enjoyed cold for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use molds with round shapes to create realistic eyeball shapes.
- Handle the bloodshot eye candies gently to avoid damaging their detail when placing them on the jello.
- Adjust vodka quantity to taste, but keep in mind it may affect how the jello sets.
- Serve responsibly, especially at parties involving alcohol.
- For non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with cold water or fruit juice.
