Tip: Do not add too much additional alcohol. While jello shots don’t taste overly boozy, they still pack a punch. Moreover, adding too much vodka might keep them from setting properly. Tip: Store in the fridge until ready to use. Otherwise the jello might become liquid again. Tip: Add decorations right before serving. Candy, whipped cream or fruit decorations might react with the jello and become slimy and unappetizing.
