Irish Jello Shots

These Irish Jello Shots are made to match the colors of the Ireland flag – green, white and orange. The supplies you need are very simple, to serve the Jello Shots, you will need 2 oz plastic shot glasses. I found these at the party store. You can certainly use the same recipe and layer the Jello in a glass bowl.

Begin by layering the lime jello about 1/3 full, the recipe will make about 32-36, 2 ounce size shot glasses. Each of the jello layers, as well as the sweetened condensed milk layer, are mixed with unflavored gelatin like Knox, this will give the jello thickness.

Next comes the middle layer made with sweetened condensed milk. And then the orange jello layer. Each of the layers need about 20 – 30 minutes in the refrigerator to chill and firm up.

Then right before serving (or up to 30 minutes) add the Cool Whip or whipped cream to the top and sprinkles if you like. These Shamrock Sprinkles would be super cute too!

And don’t forget the spoons. We had these leftover from our Holiday Appetizer Bar, but Amazon has both green and orange!

Adult Jello Shots

  1. EDIT: The following recipe is for regular flavored jello only, it does not include the white layer. The jello shots shown are non-alcoholic. If you want to make the white layer, you will need to add the gelatin to make it thicken. Note - I did not make them with alcohol.
  2. Add 1 cup boiling water to 1 box of Jello and stir to dissolve.
  3. Add 3/4 cup vodka and 1/4 cup cold water, stir to combine
  4. Add to shot glasses and chill
  5. Note - this is for a single flavor
  6. You will NOT add the unflavored gelatin if you are using alcohol

Notes

You can easily change the flavor or color of the jello for a fun everyday treat. These Candy Corn Jello Shots or Mardi Gras Jello Shots are fun too!
