¼ cup water
0.50 ounce unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold brew coffee, unflavored and unsweetened, medium/bold brew
¼ cup whipped cream flavored vodka
¼ cup French vanilla flavored coffee creamer
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice flavor syrup, I used Torani brand
Extra creamy squirt whipped topping, dry pumpkin pie spice blend & 3 green straws cut into small pieces (garnish)

Place 9 jello shot cups (they must be at least 2 ounces in size) onto a rimmed tray or plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, add the water, then sprinkle the packets of unflavored gelatin over the top surface of the water. Swirl the bowl to allow the gelatin to be absorbed by the water. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds or until the gelatin has dissolved. You may need to stir the hot gelatin to make sure you have no lumps remaining. Set aside to cool slightly while assembling the remaining ingredients.
In a 2-cup-sized spouted measuring cup, add the cold brew coffee, whipped cream flavored vodka, French vanilla coffee creamer, and pumpkin spice flavor syrup. Stir to combine.
Add the warm, dissolved, unflavored gelatin to the coffee mixture and stir well.
Slowly pour approximately 1½ ounces of the pumpkin spice latte mixture into each jello shot cup. You may want to add just a touch more than the 1½ ounces to each cup to make a nice full cup.
Place the tray of pumpkin spice latte jello shots into the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or up to overnight to allow the gelatin to fully set up.
Once the pumpkin spice latte jello shots have set up, you can garnish each one with a squirt of the whipped topping, a light sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, and a piece of green straw. You will want to wait until you are ready to serve your jello shots before garnishing them.

Different stores carry different-sized plastic shot glasses, ranging from 1.5 ounces to 2.5 ounces. Use what you can find, and just know that this recipe will make more or less jello shots depending on the size of your disposable shot glasses.
I love to always keep the cold brewed coffee in my refrigerator for iced coffees. Your favorite brand will work; you will just want to make sure that it is unflavored and unsweetened. If you do not want to buy the cold brew from the refrigerated section of your grocery store, you can just brew a large pot of coffee and reserve 1 cup. You will need to allow it to cool completely before using it. Make sure your brewed coffee is unflavored as well. I like a medium or bold variety for this recipe.
