These jello shots are the adult version of every kid's favorite treat. They are made with actual cotton candy to make them taste like the real deal plus some flavored vodka to make them boozy. These sweet jello shots are perfect for anybody that is still a kid at heart.
• 2 cups water, divided
• 2 packets (~5 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin, divided
• 5 cups (2 ounces) blue cotton candy, plus some for garnish
• 1 cup berry vodka
• 5 cups (2 ounces) pink cotton candy, plus some for garnish
• 1 cup vanilla vodka
➊ Make Blue Layer: In a medium bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (2 1/2 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup water. Let sit 5 minutes.
➋ In a small saucepan, heat 3/4 cup water over medium-high heat. As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in blue cotton candy. Whisk hot mixture into set gelatin. Continue whisking until gelatin is dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
➌ Whisk in berry vodka. Pour gelatin mixture into 20 2-ounce jello shot cups so each cup is halfway full. Put into fridge to chill for 3-4 hours or until set.
➍ Make Pink Layer: In a medium bowl, sprinkle remaining packet (2 1/2 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup water. Let sit 5 minutes.
➎ In a small saucepan, heat remaining 3/4 cup water over medium-high heat. As soon as it begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in pink cotton candy. Whisk hot mixture into set gelatin. Continue whisking until gelatin is dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
➏ Whisk in vanilla vodka. Pour gelatin mixture on top of set blue gelatin until all 20 shot cups are full. Put into fridge to chill for 3-4 hours or until set.
➐ Garnish: If desired, top each set jello shot with a bit of cotton candy right before serving. Cheers!
