Description
Make your party pop with these fun and fizzy Pop Rocks Jello Shots! This easy recipe combines flavored vodka, Jello, and a crackling Pop Rocks topping for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
-
1 cup flavored vodka
(Strawberry or blue raspberry vodka works best, but you can use any fun flavor.) -
1 cup boiling water
(Make sure it’s boiling so it dissolves the gelatin properly.) -
1 (3 oz) package of flavored Jello
(Pick a Jello flavor that matches your vodka — e.g., strawberry Jello with strawberry vodka.) -
1 cup cold water
-
2-3 packets of Pop Rocks candy
(Cherry, watermelon, or blue raspberry all work great.) -
Shot glasses or small plastic cups
(Disposable plastic shot cups are easiest for serving.)
Instructions
Start by boiling 1 cup of water. In a large mixing bowl, pour the Jello powder in and add the boiling water. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Once the Jello is dissolved, add 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of flavored vodka. Stir well to ensure the mixture is evenly combined.
Carefully pour the mixture into your shot glasses or small plastic cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for the Pop Rocks topping.
Place the cups in the refrigerator and let them set for at least 4 hours. Overnight is even better to ensure a firm texture.
Right before serving (and we mean right before), sprinkle a generous amount of Pop Rocks on top of each shot. Serve immediately for the best crackling effect!
