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.
- 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.
How to Make Peach Jello Shots with Vodka
A quick overview of the steps is below; see the full recipe card for exact measurements and timings.
- Pour the peach gelatin powder into boiling water and whisk until completely dissolved (about 2–3 minutes).
- Stir in the cold water and peach vodka until evenly combined.
- 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.
- Refrigerate until fully set—at least 2 hours, though overnight yields the best texture.
- 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.
