If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE blue. Specifically, bright blues like aqua, mint, turquoise, etc.

So, you can imagine just how much I love the color of these Jack Frost Jello Shots.

The mixture of the Blue Curacao, Pineapple Rum Cream and the Vodka turn this a bright blue that is worthy to be served up at the holidays.

The next time you’re throwing a holiday celebration, you need to make these. I am sure they will be a huge hit. Plus, they pair great with our Grinch Cocktail, Christmas Cocktail and even Christmas Jello Shots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ounces is a packet of unflavored gelatin?
According to the box, there is 4 packets and a total of 1 oz. Therefore, each packet of unflavored gelatin should be 1/4 oz.

What can I use instead of marshmallows to make the rims sticky?
I’
ve also used vanilla frosting before too. Simply dip the top of the shot glasses into a can of vanilla frosting and then dip into the sprinkles.

What can I do to make it taste less like vodka?
If you don’t like a strong vodka taste, you can certainly add less Vodka and more of the Blue Curacao
and more of the Blue Chair Bay Pineapple Rum Cream. You can also swap the unflavored gelatin for blue raspberry jello.

How to Make Jack Frost Jello Shots

Start by dissolving 2 packets of gelatin in 1 1/2 cups of hot water, and set aside to let the gelatin bloom and dissolve. (About 5 or so minutes – Gelatin will absorb all the water)

When the gelatin has dissolved, stir well, and add the Vodka, Blue Curacao, and Pineapple Rum. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Next, pour Sprinkle Mix, and Mini Snowflakes out on a plate and mix together. 

Place the 12 shot Glasses, on a tray, and using the Mini Marshmallows,  smear one marshmallow over the rim of each shot glass, making it sticky on the rim, and dip it into the sprinkle mix and snowflakes. Set aside. 

Carefully fill the Shot Glasses with the Gelatin mix, and set in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

The 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin - can you give me an approximate oz calculation? In the boxes I have, they have 4 envelopes - totaling 1 oz (.25 oz for each envelope). So I use 2 envelopes per recipe (.5) correct?

It would be helpful to add the ounces of gelatin we need for the recipe.

Hi Jennifer, I say 2 envelopes because 1 box of Knox Gelatin Mix comes with 4 packets and they packets are not marked in OZ individually. But yes, it looks looks like the box total is 1 oz so assuming 2 envelopes would be 1/2 oz. :)

I don't think this recipe is correct. I made it and they tasted very watered down. I think the amount of water is incorrect.

@Brittanie, has the amount of water been corrected now?

Hi Stephanie, I am so sorry about that, you were right, I had listed double the amount of water needed. I'd love to repurchase some ingredients for you so you can give this another go. Please email me if interested!
