Common Questions About Pool Party Jello Shots

How much alcohol is in each jello shot?

Each shot contains a portion of the ½ cup of vodka used, making it just the right amount for a good time without being overpowering.

How long should the jello mixture set in the fridge?

The jello shots typically need about 3 hours to set perfectly, but for the best results, leaving them overnight ensures they’re firm and ready.

Are there non-alcoholic versions of these jello shots?

Definitely! Simply replace the vodka with an equal amount of cold water for a fun and non-alcoholic jello shot treat.
