How to Make Blue Halloween Jello Shots
Step 1: Dissolve the Gelatin
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water into a heat-safe mixing bowl containing the blue raspberry gelatin. Whisk continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
Tip: If you notice small lumps, keep whisking gently—they usually disappear within seconds.
Step 2: Add Cold Liquids
Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water to slightly cool the mixture. Then add 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda or white grape juice along with 1/4 cup additional cold water. Stir slowly until the color and texture are uniform.
Tip: Pour liquids gradually to avoid foam and keep the gelatin silky smooth.
Step 3: Pour into Molds
Arrange shot glasses or silicone molds on a tray for easy transport. Carefully pour the mixture into each mold, filling about 3/4 full. Gently tap the tray on the counter to release air bubbles.
Step 4: Chill Until Set
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set. For the best texture, chilling overnight works beautifully.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once set, remove from molds if needed or leave in glasses. Top with candy eyeballs, gummy worms, or Halloween sprinkles. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.
Tips for Success
- Always check that gelatin is halal-certified
- Chill on a flat surface to keep shots level
- Avoid adding soda while the mixture is too hot to preserve fizz
- Silicone molds make removal much easier
