Can you get drunk off jello shots? Eventually. The truth is while you may get a big alcohol taste, there isn’t really that much in each shot. You’d need about 4 jello shots to equal 1 shot of booze.
Alcohol to Use in Jello Shots
The type of alcohol you put in your jello shots will determine its taste and its ability to get you drunk. The most popular drinks to use include; tequila, rum, and vodka. The most popular alcohol for making jello shots is vodka.
Choosing Vodka for Your Jello Shots
If like most people, you choose to use vodka for your jello shots, you must find the right one to achieve the desired taste. Flavored vodka is a great choice because it allows you to achieve specific flavors. If you want to taste the flavors of vodka in your jello shots, go for vodka with a strong flavor.
Your Jell-O will absorb most of the vodka’s properties. The amount of alcohol you add to your Jello shots will vary depending on the effect you want to achieve. You should, however, be careful not to add too much alcohol. It will make it difficult for your jello shot to set. The average batch is made up of:
- One cup of water
- A half-cup of alcohol
- A packet of gelatin
- A half-cup of cold water
The average jello shot is about 10% ABV. When making your jello shots, it is better to have weak ones than shots that are too strong. You should always strive to achieve a good balance. Cooling your jello for a long time may help it achieve strength.
The best ratio to achieve strength is three to one for 80-proof alcohol to water. Cool it in the refrigerator for a whole day. If you store your jello shots in the refrigerator, they can last up to 10 days.
If you try to make very strong jello shots, they may turn out a little crappy. Fortunately, it is possible to improve your jello shots and make them tasty. There are plenty of gelatin textures that you can use to achieve different textures.
If, for example, you are trying to make vegetarian jelly shots, consider adding agar-agar. It is a gelling agent used in making candy. Even though you are unlikely to get a hangover from taking jello shots, it is possible.
