Main Ingredients
- 1 cup apple juice (fresh or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin (about 14 grams)
- 1/2 cup vodka or apple-flavored liquor
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of cold apple juice, sprinkling it evenly and letting it bloom completely for a smooth, lump-free set.
- Heat and Mix: Warm an additional 1/2 cup apple juice with sugar and caramel sauce over low heat until smooth and combined. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, being careful not to overheat to maintain alcohol potency.
- Add Liquor: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in 1/2 cup vodka or apple-flavored liquor, preserving the flavor and alcohol strength.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the jello liquid into prepared shot glasses or silicone molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the shots for at least 4 hours or until firm for the ideal texture and easy serving.

- Do not overheat the mixture to preserve alcohol potency.
- Bloom gelatin properly by sprinkling evenly in cold juice to avoid lumps.
