Frequently Asked Questions
Tips For A Mess-Free Cleanup:
- Use disposable condiment cups or disposable shot glasses for a quick cleanup. Line them on a party tray ahead of filling shots so they are easier to move and transport.
- Use a pourable measuring cup or injector for ease in filling up each individual shot.
- These handy Jello Shot syringes can be used to transfer the Jello mixture into plastic containers or can be filled up and chilled in the fridge to serve as is. They are a fun way to cool down during a hot Summer day!
Can I Make These Jello Shots Ahead of Time?
For best results, we recommend making these Jello shots up to 2 days in advance for maximum enjoyment. However, they will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
Can I Make A Substitute for Orange Juice?
If you don’t wish to use Orange juice for this recipe, you can easily substitute it for pineapple juice or lime juice instead! Both flavors will slightly change the creamy orange flavor of this recipe and give a more tangy flavor.
Can I Add Garnish to the Jello Shots for Extra Flavor?
Yes! We recommend orange slices, whipped cream, maraschino cherries or pieces of an orange rind as garnish options for your Orange Creamsicle shot. Just be sure to save the garnish for right before serving if you don’t plan on serving these right away!
Can I Add More Liquor to These Jello Shots?
For best results, you should put 1/2 cup of liquor into your Jello Shots. But, you are able to add as much as 2/3 cup without changing the texture of the Jello Shots. If you add too much alcohol to your Jello shots, it may cause the Jello Shots to not set properly.
