How To Make Hard Apple Cider Jello Shots
- Take the water and 2 cups hard cider and put in a pot with the sugar. Add the gelatin and let proof for a few minutes. Once swelled or bloomed, put the pot over medium heat and bring to a slow boil until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Take off the heat and add in the remaining 2 cups of hard cider. Pour into a square baking dish and cover in the fridge for a few hours until set.
- Once set, cut into small cubes and put in a 9×9 square dish, piling them on top of each other.
How To Make Condensed Milk Jello
- Mix 1/2 cups cold water and 2 gelatin packets together and let proof.
- Add in 1 1/2 cups boiling water and mix until gelatin is dissolved.
- Mix in one can of sweetened condensed milk. Let the mixture come to room temperature and pour 1 cup over the cubed cider Jello.
- Cover and let set in fridge. You can use the remaining amount to make sweetened condensed milk Jello as well.
What Are Jello Shots?
These jiggly, tasty treats – sometimes called ‘jelly shots’ – are simply jelly spiked with alcohol. They are super fun and so easy to make. They can be created a few days in advance, if needed. This recipe uses hard cider for an alcoholic kick.
