Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Cherry Jello: This gives the shots a bloody red color perfect for a vampire theme. Feel free to experiment with other jello flavors and add red coloring gel to maintain the eerie aesthetic.
- Fireball Whiskey: Adds both alcohol content and a spicy cinnamon kick.
- Food Coloring Gel: Black food coloring gel works best for this recipe.
- Maraschino Cherries: Perfect for garnish, and adding red sprinkles can enhance the decoration.
How To Make Vampire Kiss Jello Shots
Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix the cherry jello with boiling water, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Add the whiskey and cold water, mixing well. Set aside 1/4 cup of the jello mixture in a smaller bowl, add a few drops of black food coloring, and whisk to combine. Pour the red jello mixture into shot glasses, filling them about 3/4 of the way. Chill in the fridge for 90 minutes.
Step 2: Once the red layer is firm, carefully pour the black jello mixture on top of the red layer. Return to the fridge to chill for another 90 minutes until set. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and sprinkles if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Substitutions for Fireball Whiskey
If Fireball isn’t your thing, you can easily swap it out for another whiskey, though the flavor will change. Cinnamon whiskey is a good alternative. You could also use vodka for a different taste profile. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with apple cider, ensuring it’s the non-alcoholic kind to keep things tame.
Tips for Making Perfect Layers
Creating layered jello shots might seem tricky, but it’s straightforward with a bit of patience. First, make the red layer and let it partially set in the fridge. Once it’s firm enough, add the black layer on top. This method ensures distinct, clean layers that look impressive.
