Peach Jello Shot Ingredients

Below are ingredient notes and substitution ideas. Full measurements and detailed instructions are provided in the recipe card at the end of this post.

Absolut Peach Vodka, peach candy rings, and two box of peach Jello.
  • Peach jello mix – Use two 3-ounce boxes or one 6-ounce box of peach-flavored gelatin.
  • Peach vodka – Peach-flavored vodka (such as Absolut Peach) enhances the peach profile, but plain vodka will also work if you prefer a subtler vodka presence.
  • Water – You will need 3 cups total: 2 cups boiling water to dissolve the gelatin and 1 cup cold water (or a mix of cold water and vodka as noted below).
  • Gummy peach rings – Optional garnish that adds a playful look and extra peach flavor.

You will also need

  • Medium saucepan to bring water to a boil.
  • Small plastic shot cups (2 ounces) or disposable condiment cups—these make serving and transporting easy.
  • Mixing bowl—a bowl with a pour spout makes filling cups neater.

  1. Pour the peach gelatin powder into boiling water and whisk until completely dissolved (about 2–3 minutes).
  2. Stir in the cold water and peach vodka until evenly combined.
  3. Place your 2-ounce cups on a rimmed sheet pan or in a cupcake tin for stability, then carefully pour the jello mixture into each cup.
  4. Refrigerate until fully set—at least 2 hours, though overnight yields the best texture.
  5. Top each set jello shot with a gummy peach ring just before serving.

Pro Tip:

Arrange the cups on a rimmed baking sheet or inside a muffin tin before filling. It keeps everything steady when moving the shots to the refrigerator and back.

Storage

Store jello shots covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended; it changes the texture and can cause the gelatin to break down.

Recipe variations

  • Peach schnapps version – Replace half of the vodka with peach schnapps for a sweeter, fruitier shot.
  • Crown Peach version – Substitute peach vodka with a peach-flavored whiskey for a different flavor profile.
  • Non-alcoholic peach cups – Use water instead of alcohol for a kid-friendly or alcohol-free option.
