How To Make Easter egg jello shots
- Take a sharp knife and carefully cut a small hole i the top of the Easter egg. Or if there is a small hole already just enlarge it a bit so you can pour jello into the egg easier. (Photo 1)
- Brush the inside of the eggs with vegetable oil to make sure it is nonstick. (Photo 2)
- Next, you will put the egg together and place tape around the seam of the egg so it won’t leak out the jello when you pour it in. (Photo 3)
- In a small bowl, add your jello and gelatin together. (Photo 4)

Recipe Tips
- You have to spray cooking spray or brush with oil or the jello will stick in the plastic eggs.
- Make sure to use gelatin and jello mix, as you want the eggs to be firmer in texture.
- Any flavor of jello works for this recipe.
- Swap vodka with tequila, schnapps, rum, etc. Any alcohol works great for recipe.
- Store with the hole at the top, or it will leak out.
- Placing eggs in an egg carton are a great way to store while the jello is setting up.
Storing Tips
Refrigerator
You will want to refrigerate these vodka Easter jello shots. Place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 4-5 days. The jello is best eaten within the first few days, but you can store them longer if you need.
Once the eggs are set, I do prefer to remove from the plastic containers and then just store in a sealed bag or container.
Freezing
You will not be able to freeze these jello shots. Freezing creates a totally different texture to jello. The vodka will not freeze, so it will cause the jello shots to separate and break down once you go to thaw them.
What To Serve With Jello Shots
Jello shots are more of a party food. So you don’t want to serve a whole meal, and this be the dessert. Here are some other boozy items you could serve as another option or in addition to the egg shots.
Check out these Mardi gras shots. They are pastel would could easily be used for an Easter shot. Or whip up this mango margarita that is bursting with tropical flavor.
Recipe FAQs
1 to 1 1/2 cups of alcohol is all your shots can handle. If you add too much, it is going to cause your jello to not set up properly, and you will have a liquidy mess.
Adding oil is going to create a non-stick surface. So when you go to remove the jello, it will come right out of the jello mold. Otherwise, the jello will stick, and you will have a mess on your hand trying to get it out.

- Sharp Knife
- Scotch Tape
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Kettle (to boil the water)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1- 6 ounce (198 ½ g) box of jello
- 1 tablespoon or 1 packet of gelatin
- 1 cup (236 ⅗ g) of boiling water
- 1 cup (240 g) of vodka
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, carefully make a small hole (or make an existing one a little larger) at the top of the plastic Easter egg.
- Brush the inside of the plastic egg with vegetable oil.
- Put the two sides of the egg together and seal the seams using scotch tape. A lot of the plastic Easter eggs have drainage holes, be sure to cover those with tape too. Set in the holder and aside for now. Leave open the hole that you made (or made larger).

- Once filled, place in the fridge until the jello sets, approximately 1.5- 2 hours.
- Carefully remove the tape and break open the egg.
- Remove and enjoy!
