Start by lining your jello shot cups on a flat, movable surface like a large plate or baking sheet. This makes it much easier to transfer them to the refrigerator once filled. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry jello powder with the boiling water. Stir continuously until the gelatin completely dissolves – this usually takes about 2 minutes of stirring to create a smooth jello mixture.

Add the red berry vodka to the dissolved jello mixture and stir well to combine. The mixture should be smooth and well-blended.

Carefully fill each shot cup with the strawberry jello mixture, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top. This prevents overflow and leaves room for optional garnishes.

Place the filled cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until completely set. The shots should be firm to the touch when ready.

Just before serving, add your optional garnishes – a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberries half make these shots look professionally made.
