Common Questions About Fireball Jello Shots
How Strong Are These Jello Shots?
Each shot contains a bit of Fireball whisky, making it a yummy adult treat without being too overpowering. For the best results, stick to the recipe’s alcohol proportions. Basically, what I’m saying is, don’t get too crazy!
Can I Make These Shots Non-Alcoholic?
Absolutely! Swap the Fireball whiskey with apple cider or orange juice for a non-alcoholic version that everyone can enjoy. Try adding a little cinnamon oil to the apple juice to simulate that Fireball flavor.
How Long Do They Last?
These jello shots can be refrigerated in plastic cups covered with plastic wrap for up to 2-3 days. Remember, the fresher, the better for that perfect taste of Fireball!
Storage
These won’t last long, so just make sure you don’t prepare too many of them. The last thing you want is a bunch of Fireball that gets thrown out!
Refrigerator
Best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
Freezer
Freezing is not recommended as it alters the texture.
