Ingredients
  

For the Jello Base
  • 1 box Grape Jello Mix This is the crucial base for your jello shots, providing that signature flavor.
  • 1 cup Boiling Water Activates the jello mix and is essential for proper dissolution.
  • 1 cup Cold Water Balances the temperature and helps the jello set correctly.
For the Fun Texture

For the Boozy Version
  • 1.5 cups Sour Berry Liqueur Adds a tangy sweetness perfect for an adult twist.

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Jello shot cups

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Once boiling, remove it from heat and stir in the grape Jello mix until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  3. If you’re using alcohol, pour in 1.5 cups of sour berry liqueur, or opt for grape soda for the non-alcoholic version. Mix thoroughly for about a minute until the liquid is even and well-blended.
  4. Carefully pour the jello mixture into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Place them in the refrigerator to set for about 4 hours, or until they have a firm jelly-like consistency.
  6. Remove the cups from the fridge and carefully top each shot with a generous spoonful of purple popping boba.
  7. Add optional googly candy eyes atop each cup to complete the look.

Notes

Ensure the jello is fully set in the fridge for at least 4 hours; a partially set jello can lead to messy, unappealing shots. Clearly label alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions.
