- ¼ cup Cherry Vodka
- ¼ cup Spiced Rum
Instructions
- Bloom Gelatin: In a medium-sized bowl, add the gelatin powder to ½ cup of cold water and whisk gently to combine. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to let the gelatin bloom.

- Add Flavorings: To the gelatin mixture, add the condensed milk, red food coloring, cherry vodka, and spiced rum. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, creating a vibrant red, creamy liquid.
- Fill Shots: Using a syringe or injector, carefully fill individual jello shot cups to the top with the prepared gelatin mixture. This helps in precise and clean filling.
- Chill and Set: Place the filled cups into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the jello shots are fully set and firm.

- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka and rum with equal amounts of cranberry or cherry juice.
- Be sure to use fresh gelatin for best results in setting the shots properly.
- Chilling time can be extended for firmer consistency if desired.
- Use a syringe or small measuring cup for neat filling of the jello cups.
- These jello shots are best consumed within 24 hours for optimal taste and texture.
