Apple Cider Jello Shots

Apple Cider Jello Shots are perfect for fall parties! Apple cider and Fireball jello shots topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Happy Friday! I saved the boozy #HalloweenTreatsWeek recipe for the end of the week!

If you’ve missed my other posts this week, #HalloweenTreatsWeek is a yearly event hosted by Angie of Big Bear’s Wife and there are 41 bloggers sharing Halloween recipes this week. Some cute, some creepy, and all delicious!

Okay, so when was the last time you had a jello shot? Mine was probably, like, 2005. And it was definitely made with boxed jello mix and was awful. 

These are a little bit more of a grown person jello shot since you skip the box and use apple cider. If you want to make an apple cider drink that isn’t jello shots, I’ve got a Sparkling Apple Cider Sangria recipe that you will love. 

Ingredients

• Apple cider – use your favorite brand!
• Lemon
• unflavored gelatin – you can find this in the jello section of all large grocery stores or you can order it online
• Fireball Whiskey – this is cinnamon flavor whiskey which makes these taste so delicious
• Whipped cream and cinnamon – optional but they make the jello shots super cute!

Instructions

• Add apple cider and lemon juice to a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir to dissolve gelatin. Remove from heat and stir in Fireball.
• Divide into shot containers and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon right before serving.
