❓Recipe FAQs
How long does it take for the jello shots to set?Plan on chilling them for at least 4 hours for them to fully set. You may need longer depending on how many you make.
Why should We add seltzer water to the rose jello shots?We add a little seltzer water to add some bubbly, without adding actual bubbly. This gives them a bit of effervescence without overpowering them with alcohol.
What if We like stronger jello shots?We prefer to not overdo it with the alcohol in the jello shots, but if you like them a bit stronger, you can a little bit of regular vodka. But be sure to watch your flavor combos so it doesn't end up overpowering the rest of the recipe.
