Calories 74kcal
Equipment
- 20 Jello Shot Cups (2 ounces each)
- Pourable Container (I use a pourable glass measuring cup)
Ingredients
- 6 ounces lime jello 1 box
- 2 ½ cups boiling water
- 1 ½ cups vodka
1 drop brown gel food dye
gold star sprinkles
red sanding sugar
Instructions
- Empty the jello packet into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the boiling water and stir until the powder has dissolved.
- Stir in the vodka.
- Portion 2 ounces of the jello mixture into a separate bowl. Add a drop of the brown food coloring. Stir. (you can add more if needed - but this should be adequate)
- Transfer that tinted jello into one of the shot cups.
- Portion the remaining green mixture into the remaining shot cups.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Assemble as a Christmas Tree
- Arrange the shot cups into the shape of a Christmas tree - follow this order…
- Top - 1 cup - with star sprinkles
- 2nd - 1 cup - green
- 3rd - 2 cups - green
- 4th - 3 cups - green
- 5th - 7th rows - 4 cups
- 8th - 1 cup - this will be the brown for the trunk - so place it in the middle
- Add sprinkles to the tops of the jello just before serving - add in a random manner to resemble ornaments.
Alternatively - you don’t have to assemble the cups in a tree shape. You can just decorate them with whipped cream and festive sprinkles for a fun party treat.
Notes
Tips:
Add any decorations when you are ready to serve. The sprinkles and whipped cream don’t keep well for long periods of time in the fridge.
You can make these ahead of time - up to 3 days in advance. Just be sure to add the lids to the cups. They do not freeze well.
Don’t fill to the top when planning on storing with the lids.
These can be made with any preferred flavored vodka if desired.
