These jello shots are a delightful adult twist on the classic childhood creamsicle treat.

With vibrant orange-flavored jello gelatin, creamy whipped cream vodka, and a splash of fizzy orange soda, they offer a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

You’ll need:

• 1 cup of boiling water
• 1 (3-ounce) box of orange-flavored jello gelatin
• ½ cup of whipped cream vodka
• ½ cup of orange-flavored soda

For The Garnish:

• Whipped cream in a squirt can
• Orange sanding sugar sprinkles

PRO TIP:

Remember that different brands offer different sized disposable shot glasses (some even come with lids for storage), so you will just need to fill the plastic cup of your choice ¾ full to leave space for the garnish. You will also need to note that you will get more servings if you use smaller glasses.

Substitutions And Additions

ORANGE JELLO: If you’re looking for a different fruity twist, consider substituting the orange-flavored jello gelatin with another fruit-flavored gelatin like raspberry, lemon, or lime.

This simple swap allows you to experiment with various fruit combinations

VODKA: If you can’t find whipped cream vanilla-flavored vodka, you can substitute it for plain vanilla vodka.

The whipped cream vodka is slightly sweeter than a standard vanilla vodka, so I highly recommend giving it a try if you can find it in your area.

Smirnoff and Pinnacle brands make a great version of the whipped cream vodka.

ORANGE SODA: You can substitute cold water for the orange soda in this recipe. The orange soda gives these an extra boost of orange flavor and sweetness. 

How To Make This Creamsicle Jello Shot Recipe

STEP ONE: In a large mixing bowl, with a pour spout, stir together the boiling water and the orange-flavored jello gelatin until it is completely dissolved. 

STEP TWO: Add the whipped cream vodka and the orange-flavored soda to the hot jello mixture.

Stir well, then very carefully pour the liquid into the individual plastic shot cups.

STEP THREE: Chill the creamsicle jello shots for four hours or until firm.

STEP FOUR: Garnish each jello shot with a squirt of a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange sprinkles.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 (3-ounce) box orange-flavored jello gelatin
• ½ cup whipped cream vodka such as Smirnoff or Pinnacle brands
• ½ cup orange-flavored soda I used Crush Orange soda brand

Garnish

• heavy whipped cream in a squirt can I used Reddi-Whip brand
• orange sanding sugar sprinkles

Instructions

 

• In a large mixing bowl, with a pour spout, stir together the boiling water and the orange-flavored jello gelatin until it is completely dissolved. An 8-cup measuring cup works great for this, as it makes it much easier to pour the liquid into the little shot cups.
• Add the whipped cream vodka and the orange-flavored soda to the hot gelatin mixture. Stir well, then very carefully pour the liquid into the individual plastic shot cups.
• Chill the creamsicle jello shots for 3 to 4 hours or until firm.
• Garnish each jello shot with a squirt of heavy whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange sanding sugar sprinkles.

Notes

• If you are making these for a party and need lots of shots, you can easily double this recipe.
• An 8 cup measuring cup works great for this as it makes it much easier to pour the liquid into the little shot containers.
• If you place all your empty plastic containers onto a small rimmed baking sheet before filling them with the liquid, it will be easier to transfer your creamsicle orange jello shots to the refrigerator to chill.
• To help your creamsicle jello shots set up faster, you can chill your whipped cream vodka in the freezer, or refrigerator, so that you are adding very cold liquids to the orange jello gelatin and boiling water combination.  Make sure that you add the chilled vodka after mixing the boiling water with the jello and completely dissolving the orange jello first.
