⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
You can, but not because the flavor will be too strong. Rather, too much alcohol will prevent the Jello from setting properly.
They don’t. In reality, the sweetness of the shots masks some of the alcohol, so people end up consuming more of them, not realizing the amount of alcohol they’re ingesting.
No. Contrary to popular belief, placing Jello shots in the freezer won’t make them set any faster. What it will do is cause a layer of ice to form on them as well as cause freezer burn.
