Halloween isn’t just for the kids — adults deserve a treat too! And what better way to add some spirit to your spooky soirée than with Halloween Jello shots? These little party potions are festive, colorful, and dangerously good. Whether you’re hosting a haunted house bash or just chilling with friends watching scary movies, these are guaranteed to be a graveyard smash.
🧪 What You’ll Need:
-
3 oz package of orange Jello (or any Halloween color—lime green and grape purple work great too!)
-
1 cup boiling water
-
½ cup cold water
-
½ cup vodka (try whipped cream or citrus flavor for an extra twist!)
-
Optional: Whipped cream, candy eyeballs, gummy worms, or black sanding sugar for garnish
-
2 oz plastic shot cups
🕸️ Instructions:
-
Boil & Mix: In a heatproof bowl, pour in your Jello mix and add 1 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
-
Add the Booze: Stir in ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka (this is where the magic happens).
-
Pour & Chill: Pour the mixture into your plastic cups. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
-
Decorate (and have fun with it): Top with whipped cream, a gummy worm, or candy eyeballs before serving for that perfect Halloween touch.
🧙♀️ Bonus Tips:
-
Make a layered look by alternating orange and green Jello (let each layer set for about 45 minutes before adding the next).
-
Use black vodka or dark rum for a spooky twist — it gives that witch’s cauldron effect.
-
Hosting a family-friendly event? Swap the vodka for sparkling apple cider or juice and call them Monster Mocktails!
Halloween only comes once a year, so go all out! Whether you’re channeling your inner mad scientist or your favorite horror movie character, these Jello shots will cast a spell on your guests. Just remember — they may look cute, but they pack a punch. 😉
Happy haunting and happy sipping! 🧡💀
