Equipment

  • Silicone Candy Molds
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

Gelatin Base

  • 3 packs flavored gelatin strawberry, lime, blue raspberry
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold alcohol vodka, rum, tequila, or champagne
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup cold water for blooming gelatin
  • non-stick spray or vegetable oil for greasing molds
  • 1/2 tsp citric acid for tanginess
  • edible glitter for decoration
  • sanding sugar for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease silicone candy molds with non-stick spray or vegetable oil. Place them on a tray for easy transfer to the refrigerator.
  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  • In a medium bowl, pour boiling water over the flavored gelatin and sugar. Stir continuously until dissolved (about 2 minutes).
  • Add the bloomed unflavored gelatin to the hot flavored gelatin mixture. Stir until fully dissolved.
  • Allow the gelatin mixture to cool for about 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  • Stir in the cold alcohol of your choice. If using citric acid, add it now and mix well.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared molds, filling each cavity nearly to the top. Tap to release air bubbles.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  • Once firm, carefully remove the jello candies from the molds. If desired, roll in edible glitter or sanding sugar for decoration.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

Choose bold and fruity flavors for a vibrant treat. Experiment with different alcohols for varied taste. For a tangier flavor, adjust the citric acid to taste.
