These Jello shots are for anybody that loves a good Jack & Coke. This cocktail is a simple one and contains only two ingredients- Jack Daniel's Whiskey and Coca-Cola. To keep these Jello shots as close to the real deal as possible they also only contain whiskey, coke, and unflavored gelatin.

When these whiskey shots are garnished with a small lemon wedge, they will make the perfect addition to your party- especially fun for adult birthday parties. With easy steps, they are super simple to make and your taste buds will thank you!

Jack and Coke Jello Shot Recipe: Ingredients

✽ Unflavored Gelatin Powder: I used unflavored gelatin so I can be in control of all the flavors. This allows the shots to taste exactly like an actual Jack and Coke cocktail. I use one packet of Knox unflavored gelatin for this recipe.

✽ Coca-Cola: Instead of using a cup of water, a cup of coke is used instead for more flavor. Of course, you can use any brand of coke for these shots, but I like Coca-Cola brand the best! Plus, since we are using soda as our base, we will not need to add any additional sugar.

✽ Whiskey: The best part! Despite the name of these shots, you can use any brand of whiskey for this recipe. Use your favorite whiskey or use the cheap stuff. They will taste good either way. However, if you want the tried and true, use Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. Another popular choice is Crown Royal Whisky. *Note- For best results, I do not recommend using more than a cup of alcohol for this recipe because the shots may not set properly.

✽ Lemon Wedges: There are a few jack and coke recipes that call for a squeeze of lemon juice or a little bit of lemon peel garnish. The lemon garnish is completely optional for these shots, but I feel like the lemon makes them extra fun and bright. Perfect for serving at a party! You can also garnish with a maraschino cherry.

How to Make Jack and Coke Jell-O Shots

➊ In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, sprinkle 1 package unflavored gelatin powder (1 envelope of Knox gelatin) on top of 1/4 cup room temperature Coca-Cola. Let sit for 5 mins.

➋ In a small saucepan, bring remaining 3/4 cup Coca-Cola to a boil. Whisk the boiling cola into the unflavored gelatin.

Continuing whisking until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

➌ Stir 1 cup whiskey into the jello mixture.

➍ Pour mixture into 10 2-ounce Jello shot cups (or 2-ounce condiment plastic or paper cups). I like to place all of my plastic cups on a baking sheet or serving tray so they are easier to transport. Place shots in the fridge for about 4 hours, or until set.

➎ Right before serving, garnish each shot with a small lemon wedge, if desired. Cheers!
