Peach Schnapps Jello Shots

These peach jello shots with peach schnapps are not meant for children.

Jello shots and peach schnapps are two things that probably bring back many college memories. But just because you are older and more responsible these days doesn’t mean you can’t indulge injello shots with peach schnappsoccasionally.

Whether you are looking for nostalgia or wondering what you missed, why not whip up a fewpeach schnapps Jello shots?

Why This is the Peach Jello Shot Recipe You Want to Make

Many of the recipes out there call for peach gelatin and regular vodka. Using peach-flavored schnapps intensifies the peach flavor. These little shots are super peachy, sweet, smooth, and perfect for a summer party. This is one of the party favorites at my house, so it’s a can’t miss recipe. This is made with simple ingredients, so this is an excellent beginner jello shots recipe.

How to Take a Jello Shot Like an Expert

No experience with Jello shots? No problem. Use these tips to look like you know what you are doing!

  • Use a toothpick to loosen the Jello from the sides of the shot glass before attempting to pop it into your mouth. Adding a toothpick is particularly important if the Jello shot is in a glass shot glass because squeezing the sides of a plastic shot glass is usually enough for the Jello to come out.
  • Whatever you do, don’t stir the Jello or try to use your tongue to try to remove it from the shot glass. You will wind up making everyone else giggle.
  • Once you have the Jello shot in your mouth, don’t chew or try to swallow it in one big chunk. Swish it around like mouthwash until it breaks down enough to swallow.
  • Jello shots have about half the alcohol of a usual shot, but it is easy to overdo it due to the novelty factor. Pace yourself and drink responsibly.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need. The amount for each is on the printable recipe card below.

  • Peach Jello
  • Peach Schnapps
  • Cold Water
  • Plastic 2 ounce cups are not an ingredient, but you need these to make this recipe.

If you can’t find peach schnapps, you can use peach vodka for the same peachy flavor.

Try a Few Other Flavor Combinations

Peach schnapps Jello shotsmay taste amazing, but there is an entire world of different liquors and Jello flavors out there. Why not try recreating your favorite co*cktail in a Jello shot form, or come up with something totally unique?! Here are a few excellent Jello shots to get you started, but it is by no means a comprehensive list:

  • Orange Jello and Vodka.According to legend, the first real Jello shot was created by the comedic songwriter and Ivy League mathematics professor, Tom Lehrer. Supposedly, he made a batch of orange Jello and vodka Jello shooters to get around a ban on alcoholic beverages on military bases during his time in the Army in the 1950s.
  • Pineapple Jello and Malibu Coconut Rum.Who up for so Pina Colada-inspired Jello shots? This mixture is dangerously delicious. Whether you are at the seaside in the summer or stuck in the middle of Minnesota in February, a couple of these Jello shots and you are going to have one fantastic beach party.
  • Cranberry Jello, Vodka, Triple Sec, and Cranberry Juice.After you master the more basic Jello shots, you are ready for this one. The liquor portion of the recipe is equally divided between the vodka and the triple sec. But here is where this recipe is genius. Replace half the water with cranberry juice and bring the cranberry and water mixture to a boil. You will be enjoying Cosmo Jello shots in no time!
  • Lemon Drop– Use lemon Jello and either lemon vodka or limoncello.
  • Strawberry Jello and Tequilafor a strawberry margarita jello shot.
  • Crown peach jello shots– use Peach Crown Royal for the alcohol instead of peach schnapps.

Jello Shot Storage

Keep the Jello shots stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If you have a deep container you can layer the shots with cardboard between each layer.

Peach Jello Shots - CopyKat Recipes (2024)

FAQs

What is the best alcohol to use for jello shots? ›

If you prefer a more flavor-forward shot, rum also works well. Alternatively, use tequila, whiskey, brandy, or gin or experiment with flavored liquors, such as lemon vodka. For the best results, stick to a liquor that's about 80-proof (40% alcohol by volume).

Can you make jello shots with juice instead of water? ›

Add cold water or equivalent amount of ice, fruit juice, and then liquor. Definitely use ice instead of the cold water if you are having the party in less than 4 hours because it will solidify faster. Taste to ensure there is enough liquor and consider adding more.

Are you supposed to chew jello shots? ›

How do you eat a jello shot? Use your finger to trace the inside walls of the cup to loosen the jello from the sides (you can also use some nonstick cooking spray to help them come out before filling the cups). Flip the cup up near your mouth and suck the shot out.

Should alcohol be cold when making jello shots? ›

Note: The colder your alcohol is, the better the result. I think this has to do with the activation of the gelatin. Personally, when possible, I keep the bottle of alcohol in the freezer for several days before making my shots.

Does vodka replace the cold water in jello shots? ›

(Note: This will vary from brand to brand. You're just modifying the recipe on the back of the package, so use the recommended amount of boiling water and substitute the cold water with alcohol. If you want weaker shots, use half alcohol and half water.)

Do jello shots get stronger the longer they sit? ›

Jello Shots, like life, are all about balance. That said, if you want a strong one, it is possible if you leave it in the fridge long enough. In a Supercall experiment, we found that the strongest Jello Shot that will set is three-to-one ratio of 80-proof alcohol to water, and it took a full day to become mostly solid.

What is the water to vodka ratio for jello shots? ›

Empty jello powder into a large mixing bowl and add the boiling water. Continue stirring for two minutes or until the jello is completely dissolved. Add in the 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup of vodka. Stir until mixed and pour into 2oz.

Why do you flip jello shots upside down? ›

To do it, simply pour your liquid Jell-O shot into the cups, add the lid, and then flip each one before refrigerating. The result is a shot that sticks to the lid rather than the edges of the cup, allowing you easy access to that Jell-O goodness and making it so much easier to slurp down.

Why do you need cold water for Jello shots? ›

Pour a half-cup of ice water into the bowl and whisk to combine. Adding this to the gelatin (along with the spirits) helps it set and firm up more quickly, which is necessary to achieve that "jello" texture, so the colder the water then the better. Pour the mixture into plastic or paper shot glasses.

How far in advance should jello shots be made? ›

It's a good idea to make layered jello shots the day before the party, so each layer has enough time to set. You'll also want to choose a different color of jello for each layer, obviously. To make the layers, you'll use the same amounts of liquid and jello powder for each layer.

Can you use Dixie cups for Jello shots? ›

Yes, you can! You definitely don't need fancy cups to make jello shots!

Why do hospitals give you jello? ›

There are a few reasons: Jell-O is easy to swallow and digest, making it suitable for patients who have difficulty eating solid foods or have digestive issues. It's smooth texture and mild flavor make it more tolerable for those with sensitive stomachs or who are recovering from surgery.

How to make jello shots come out easier? ›

Simply spritz cooking spray around the interior of your jello shot containers, and use a paper towel to spread it around so that all that's left is a light coating. To eat, use your finger to scoop out the jello shot and it should release from the cup much easier.

How do you get jello shots to slide out? ›

Place shot glasses on a baking tray for easy transport. Pour gelatin mixture into paper or plastic shot cups* and chill in refrigerator until set, 1 hour or more. *Reviewers suggest coating the shot cups lightly with cooking spray so the shots slide right out.

Does it matter what vodka you use for jello shots? ›

Standard vodka is neutral-tasting, meaning it doesn't have a flavor. So, when you make Jell-O shots, get creative and use flavored vodka. Here are some fun flavor combinations you can try: Strawberry Lemonade: strawberry Jell-O, lemon vodka.

Is titos good for jello shots? ›

All right, add your jello. Mix 2 cups of boiling water. I put one cup of Smirnoff cherry vodka. Then, of course, Tito, because that's our favorite Tito Cup of that.

How long do jello shots with alcohol last? ›

Jello shots last in the refrigerator for three to five days. They can last even longer than that, but if you want them at their best, you should consume them within a couple days of making them. Now that you've got the pro-tips, time to put them together and make a batch of jello shots for your next party!
