🔪 How to Make Mint Vodka Shooters
Making these shooters is an incredibly easy affair. If you can make Jello, you can make these fun, tasty shots.
Step 1: Mix the Gelatin
Combine the gelatin with boiling water in a mixing cup. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved. Then, add the vodka and stir until everything is combined. Divide the gelatin into 2 mixing cups.
Step 2: Flavor the Gelatin
Add the chocolate syrup to one mixing bowl for the chocolate layers and mint chocolate chip skinny syrup to the other bowl for the mint layers.
Step 3: Layer the Shooters
Fill each shot glass about 1/4 full of the green gelatin. Wait for it to set, then add a layer of chocolate gelatin. Repeat until there are 4 layers in the shot glasses.
Step 4: Chill
Spoon the melted chocolate almond bark on the rim of each shot glass and let it run down the sides. Chill the shots in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until fully set.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish each shot with whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint and enjoy.

💭 Tips
- Be sure your gelatin is fully dissolved before adding the vodka and other ingredients to ensure that your shots set properly.
- 4 hours is the minimum chill time for these shots but overnight is better.
- Add just enough melted almond bark to the rims of the glasses so that the chocolate dribbles down just a bit. You don’t want lines of chocolate all the way down your glasses.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Yes, you can but not for the reason you might think. Adding too much alcohol to Jello shots will prevent them from setting, leaving you with a perpetual thin jelly or simply liquid.
No. The amount of Jello shots you consume gets you drunker. Jello shots are sweet, and that sweetness masks some of the alcohol flavor in the shots. That leads to people consuming more shots and more alcohol than they think.
No. When frozen, Jello shots lose their texture and flavor.
