These easy Purple Hooter jello shots are the perfect addition to your next festive party when you need to celebrate with something mouthwatering, purple, and fun. This easy recipe is made with vodka, raspberry liqueur, grape jello and tart lime juice for a balanced fruity flavor that is both bold and delicious.

This Purple Hooter jello shots recipe is the jello version of the co*cktail with the same name.

Perfect for entertaining guests at Halloween or football parties (especially if you cheer on your favorite team in purple, GO TEAM), this grape jello shots recipe is a definite crowd pleaser that both you and your friends will fall in love with.

Jello shots are one of my go-to co*cktails to serve at any gathering because you can make them ahead of time and they’re so easy to serve for a crowd.

Ingredients

Here’s your shopping list:

• gelatin – One small (3-ounce) package grape jello
• alcohol – ¼ cup Raspberry Liqueur (such as Chambord), ⅔ cup Vodka – I like Ketel One. However, feel free to use whatever your favorite is.
• produce – You’ll need one lime. If you don’t have limes, then you can use 1 Tablespoon of bottled lime juice from the grocery store.

How to Make Grape Jello Shots

These are the simple steps (and some of our tips) on how to make these tasty vodka Jello shots.

Prep Work

First, spread out about 16 2-ounce jello shot cups* on a cookie sheet.

I find the 2-ounce shot cups are the perfect size for serving at a party.

The cookie sheet isn’t absolutely necessary but it catches any spills and makes it much easier to transport the jello shots to the refrigerator.

Juice the lime.

Then, you will need to put some water on to boil.

Combine Ingredients

Meanwhile, pour the gelatin crystals into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a bowl with a spout* will make pouring the Jello shots easier, later.

When the water is boiling, mix 1 cup of it into the jello. Stir until the crystals have dissolved.

After that, add ⅔ cup vodka, ¼ cup raspberry liqueur, and 1 Tablespoon lime juice to the Jello mixture. Stir again.

If you don’t want any pulp in the Jello shots, strain the lime juice before pouring it in.

I like to mix all of the cold liquids in a measuring cup to make sure the total amount doesn’t come out to more than 1 cup. Otherwise, the Jello shots won’t set.

Pour and chill

Next, pour the mixture into the arranged Jello shot cups.

To prevent condensation, wait until the liquid has cooled before putting the lids on the shot cups.

Finally, transfer the cookie sheet with the grape Jello shots to the refrigerator and chill for at least four hours (and up to 3 days) prior to serving.
