Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can I make these?
You can make these jello shots 2-3 days in advance and store in the fridge. However, I suggest adding the toppings and garnish right before serving to ensure the whipped cream and candy canes don’t melt.
I can’t find Smirnoff Peppermint Twist, what can I use instead?
Peppermint schnapps is a great alternative or any peppermint-flavored liquor.
