These Harvest Jello Shots are made with orange jello, spiced rum, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, lime juice, and topped with candied orange.
Often I post a drink recipe and usually at least one person will tell me that’s not what we call it.
Okay.
I believe you.
But where I based my recipe off of they called it….fill in the blank.
So that’s why I called it that.
Take these Harvest Jello Shots.
I based them off looking for my search for fall shots using spiced rum.
And a Harvest Shot popped up.
Is that a real thing?
No idea.
Probably. 🙂
Does the name really matter?
Not to me.
I care about what it taste like.
I just liked the very harvest/fall color they give off.
This recipe calls for spiced rum…feel free to use your favorite one.
My favorite is the giant bottle Costco sells. 🙂
It’s decent and cheap.
My favorite combo.
For the orange liqueur something like triple sec is fine and will most likely be your cheapest option.
While I am all for high end booze let’s keep in mind you are adding the booze to jello. 😛
Things to remember when making Jello Shots.
When throwing a party, you’ll probably want to prepare 4-6 Jello Shots for each guest.
This batch uses 6 ounces of gelatin and so you will get around 18-20 Jello shots.
If doing a half recipe and only using 3 ounces of gelatin you will only get 8-10 Jello shots depending on how you pour.
If using a garnish, don’t place the garnish on the jello shot until just ready to serve.
And as always it’s a great day to order my cookbook.
