Whether you’re hosting a costume party or just want to surprise your guests with a fun and festive drink, these jello shots are sure to be a hit.

The key to creating the perfect Vampire’s Kiss Jello Shots lies in balancing the flavors and guaranteeing a smooth and firm set. This recipe combines cherry gelatin with vodka and a hint of raspberry liqueur, creating a delightful blend that will have your guests coming back for more.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can whip up a batch of these tantalizing shots for 4-6 people in no time.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

• 1 package (3 oz) cherry-flavored gelatin
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur
• 1/4 cup grenadine syrup
• Optional: Plastic shot glasses or small cups for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and slowly stir in the cherry-flavored gelatin powder until it’s completely dissolved.

This step guarantees that the gelatin is smoothly incorporated, avoiding any graininess in the shots.

2. Add Cold Ingredients: Once the gelatin is dissolved, stir in 1/2 cup of cold water to cool the mixture slightly. Then, add 1/2 cup of vodka and 2 tablespoons of raspberry liqueur.

Mix well to combine. This combination creates the base of your jello shots, infusing them with a delightful alcoholic kick.

3. Add the Grenadine: Pour in 1/4 cup of grenadine syrup and gently stir. The grenadine not only enhances the color, making your jello shots a vibrant red, but also adds a sweet, rich flavor that complements the tartness of the cherry and raspberry.

4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into plastic shot glasses or small cups. Fill each glass about three-quarters full, leaving space at the top for easy handling.

This amount will allow your guests to enjoy the shots without any spillage.

5. Chill to Set: Place the filled shot glasses in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the jello is firm to the touch.

This chilling period is essential for the shots to set properly and hold their shape.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the jello shots are set, they’re ready to serve. For added fun, you can garnish the shots with edible decorations like gummy vampire fangs or a small drizzle of grenadine on top to mimic blood.

Extra Tips:

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka and raspberry liqueur with an equal amount of cold water and raspberry juice.

If you want to make your Vampire’s Kiss Jello Shots even more festive, consider using themed shot glasses or adding a drop of black food coloring to create a darker hue.

Remember to consume responsibly, especially if you’re serving these at a party with children or those who prefer non-alcoholic options.
