For the Egg Molds:

How to Make Boozy Egg Jello Shots

Follow these steps to create your own colorful, boozy, and fun Jello Shots:

1️⃣ Prepare the Egg Molds

Lightly grease the inside of each plastic Easter egg with cooking spray to help the jello release easily.
Secure the eggs in an empty egg carton, with the small hole facing up.

2️⃣ Make the Jello Mixture

In a heatproof bowl, dissolve one box of flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water.
Stir well until completely dissolved.
Add ½ cup vodka (or chosen alcohol) and mix thoroughly.

3️⃣ Fill the Egg Molds

Using a small funnel, carefully pour the jello mixture into the prepared plastic eggs.
Fill each egg almost to the top, leaving just a tiny space for expansion.
Repeat the process with each gelatin flavor to create colorful, variety-filled egg jello shots.

4️⃣ Chill & Set

Place the filled eggs in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

5️⃣ Unmold & Serve

Gently separate the plastic eggs and pop out the jello shots.
If the jello sticks, dip the plastic egg in warm water for a few seconds to help loosen it.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
