ingredients
- 1 (3 ounce) box cherry-flavored Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup vodka (or more, depending on your preference)
- Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh strawberries, stems removed
Method
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the cherry-flavored Jell-O powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
Step 2
Replace half of the cold water with vodka (1/2 cup each of cold water and vodka) for a boozy twist. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture into shot glasses or small plastic cups. Refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 4
Once the Jell-O is firm, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each shot. Place a strawberry (with the stem removed) on the whipped cream to form the "hat." Finish with a small dot of whipped cream at the tip of the strawberry for a festive Santa hat effect.
Step 5
Keep the shots chilled until ready to serve.
