Clown Jell-O Shots – Halloween Drink Idea

Happy Halloween, Ya’ll! Yes, it’s that time of the year again when all ghosts, goblins, and creepy clowns come out to play!

Is it just me, or is Halloween becoming one of my favorite non-holiday holidays?

And there are many reasons to pull out all the stops and have so much fun. 

The kiddos and adults get to play dress-up, and who doesn’t enjoy having another reason to eat some delicious food?

And on top of that, we are serving some flavorful Halloween-themed Jell-O shots; they make a potent and spooky appearance.

So, let’s raise a glass for the Halloween season!

The Best Halloween Jell-O Shots

How to make Jello Shots

Directions:

  1. Bring one cup of hot water to a boil.
  2. Empty the contents of the Jell-O package into a bowl, add the hot water and stir until the Jell-O is dissolved.
  3. Add a cup of ice-cold water and continue to stir.
  4. Pour in your choice of boozy flavors.
  5. Divide the mixture into the shot glasses.
  6. Place the clown cocktail sticks into Jell-O shots. 
  7. Allow the Jell-O to set in the freezer overnight.
  8. Remove the Jell-O from the freezer twenty minutes before guests arrive.
  9. Serve.

Note on combining flavors:

If you’re planning on doing a variety of cocktails, repeat the directions adding in the next flavor. See below for an example:

For the Tequila Lemon, we used one package of lemon Jell-O to pair with this flavor combination. 

For the Mango Cherry, we used one package of cherry Jell-O. 

And for the Blue Strawberry combo, we used one package of berry blue Jell-O. 

Halloween Shots

Halloween-themed Jell-O shots are so easy to make! You will have them ready to go in no time flat!

Halloween calls for all things creepy and fun! We've created some pretty cool, but creepy clown Jell-O shots. If you're planning a Halloween party, or just want a creepy, but cool Halloween cocktail, these shots are just what the doctored ordered!

Can you freeze jello shots? 

Unfortunately, you will find it affects the texture of the jello. Some people like to freeze the jello shots to speed them up setting up.

If you do that, don’t leave them in there for longer than 15-30 minutes, or it can affect how the jello sets. 

Can I add more alcohol to these Jello shots? 

If you add too much alcohol to the jello shots, they will not set up properly.

You will find it leaves the jello mixture soft.

I added a good amount of alcohol to these, so you should enjoy the boozy flavor in these shots. 

Can I make these a day in advance? 

Of course.

Feel free to whip up a batch or two the day before you plan to serve them.

Keep them in a covered dish in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Then right before serving, remove and enjoy. 

Halloween shots for a party

What alcohol is in jello shots? 

So generally, you will find tequila or vodka is used when making homemade jello shots.

Both offer a great flavor and will work great with the gelatin, and they set up nicely. 

Will any flavor of jello work? 

Go right ahead and change up the flavors of jello you use.

Any flavor of jello works for this recipe.

So mix and match like I did or use all one flavor of jello.
