What You’ll Need

• Lime Jello – You’ll need a box of green Jello to make these shots.

• Sweetened Condensed Milk – Add a sweeter taste and touch with this milk in your shots.
• Unflavored Gelatin – Use at least four envelopes of unflavored gelatin in addition to the green gelatin.
• Rum – Make these shots even better with a bit of your favorite rum!
• You’ll also need boiling water and cold water for this recipe.

How to Make the Slytherin Jello Shots

• Read the jello instructions. First, follow the instructions on the green Jello box. 
• Combine the jello mixture and refrigerate. You’ll mix the contents of the box with boiling water, pour it into a bowl, and then set it in the fridge for a minimum of four hours. 
• Mix the unflavored gelatin. Next, mix two envelopes of unflavored gelatin with a cup of hot water and add a cup of cold water before whisking everything. 
• Add black food dye gel and put it in the fridge. Add two drops of the black food dye gel and whisk again before placing it in the fridge to sit for four hours. 
• Put the jello into shot glasses. Break up your jello into pieces and put them in shot glasses/containers. 
• Add colors to the shot glasses. Add some of each color to each shot glass. Grab a large bowl, pour the two envelopes of unflavored gelatin into it, add ½ cup of cold water, and then let it sit for five minutes. 
• Add boiling water, rum and condensed milk and let them cool. Once it begins to bloom, add a cup of boiling water and ½ cup of rum, stir, add the condensed milk, stir again, and set aside until it cools down. 
• Refrigerate overnight. Once it cools down, pour it on top of your mixture in the shot cups and then place them in the fridge, allowing them to sit overnight.

FAQs & Tips for Success

• Which type of rum should I use? It doesn’t matter! You can use your favorite brand and flavor of rum for these shots.
• What does sweetened condensed milk do? The sweetened condensed milk gives these Slytherin Jello Shots a sweeter taste!
• Be sure to let the finished shots sit overnight. You want to make sure the shots have time to set!

Jello Shot Essentials

• Condiment cups – Unless you have a large stash of shot glasses, you’ll want to make your jello shots in condiment cups. Most jello shots are made in 2 ounce condiment cups but if you want the shots to go further, you can use 1 ounce condiment cups instead.
• Sauce pan – You’ll want to use a decent, non-stick saucepan for preparing your Jello shots. We like this one.
• Baster – A baster is my secret to easily filling the Jello shot cups, without making a mess!
• Measuring cups – To ensure you’re adding the right amount of water and liquor, you’ll want a decent measuring cup as well.
