Preparation
Can you make jello shots ahead of time?
These can be made a day or two ahead of time. Longer than that and you risk them starting to get watery or separating.
What flavor jello for fuzzy navel jello shots?
We recommend orange flavored jello in this recipe. If you prefer a stronger peach flavor you can use peach flavored jello (or half peach jello and half orange jello).
How do you make this without using plastic shot cups?
To skip dealing with all the plastic cups and pouring, make jello blocks by adding 1 packet of plain Knox Gelatin to the boiling water along with your jello packet.
Then instead of pouring your mixture into cups, pour the whole thing into a baking or casserole dish. When set, slice into squares and serve! The extra gelatin will make them firm enough to handle.
Storage and leftovers
How long do jello shots last?
Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days. If making them ahead of time, it’s best not to make them more than two days in advance.
Can you freeze jello shots?
We do not recommend freezing jello shots.
Do they need to be refrigerated?
Leftovers should be kept in the refrigerator.
