I’ve spent WAY too many nights perfecting these bad boys (for research purposes, of course 😉), and now I’m spilling all my secrets. So grab your agar agar and let’s get this jelly party started!

Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots

Who doesn’t love a good margarita? Now imagine it in jello shot form. Mind. Blown. 🤯

For these little beauties, you’ll need some strawberry puree, lime juice, tequila, and agar agar powder.

Mix it all up, pour into cute little shot glasses, and chill until set.

The result? A perfectly tangy, slightly boozy, and oh-so-fruity jello shot that’ll transport you straight to a beachside cabana.

Pro tip: rim the shot glasses with sugar for that authentic margarita experience. Your taste buds will thank you!

Coconut Rum Pineapple Jello Shots

Close your eyes and picture this: you’re on a tropical island, sipping a piña colada, without a care in the world. Now open your eyes, because that’s exactly what these jello shots taste like!

Coconut milk, pineapple juice, white rum, and agar agar come together to create a vacation in a shot glass.

The coconut milk makes these shots creamy and dreamy, while the pineapple and rum bring the party.

I like to top mine with a little shredded coconut for extra tropical vibes.

Warning: may cause spontaneous hula dancing. 💃

Watermelon Vodka Jello Shots

Summer in a shot glass, anyone? These watermelon vodka jello shots are so refreshing, you might forget they’re alcoholic. (Emphasis on might – please drink responsibly, folks!)

Blend up some fresh watermelon, mix it with vodka and agar agar, and you’re good to go.

Pour the mixture into hollowed-out lime halves for an extra cute presentation.

These are perfect for backyard BBQs, pool parties, or just because it’s Tuesday and you need a little pick-me-up.

No judgment here – we’ve all been there!

Blue Lagoon Jello Shots

Get ready to dive into these beautiful blue beauties! These jello shots are inspired by the classic Blue Lagoon cocktail, and they’re sure to make a splash at your next party.

Mix blue curaçao, vodka, lemon juice, and agar agar for a tangy, citrusy shot that’s as pretty as it is tasty.

The best part? They’re naturally vegan – no artificial blue dye needed!

Pro tip: add a tiny umbrella to each shot for maximum vacation vibes. ☂️

Mojito Jello Shots

Mojitos are my go-to summer cocktail, so naturally, I had to turn them into jello shots. And let me tell you, they do NOT disappoint.

Mint leaves, lime juice, white rum, and a touch of sugar syrup create that classic mojito flavor.

The agar agar helps it all come together in a jiggly, boozy package.

I like to garnish these with a tiny mint leaf and a slice of lime. It’s the little things that make life beautiful, right?

Cherry Cola Jello Shots

Remember those cherry cola slushies you used to get at the movie theater as a kid? Well, this is the grown-up version, and it’s WAY better.

Mix cherry juice, cola, and your favorite dark rum with agar agar for a nostalgic treat that packs a punch.

These shots are sweet, fizzy, and dangerously delicious.

Fair warning: they taste so good, you might forget they’re alcoholic. Pace yourself, champ!

Peach Bellini Jello Shots

Fancy brunch, but make it jello. These Peach Bellini jello shots are perfect for when you want to feel a little bougie without all the fuss.

Blend fresh peaches (or use peach nectar if you’re feeling lazy), mix with vegan prosecco and agar agar, and voila!

Instant brunch vibes.

I like to serve these in champagne flutes for extra pizzazz. Because why should mimosas have all the fun?

Irish Coffee Jello Shots

Last but definitely not least, we have these Irish Coffee jello shots. Because sometimes you need a little pick-me-up with your party starter.

Strong brewed coffee, Irish whiskey, and a touch of sugar come together for a jello shot that’ll wake you up and get you buzzing.

The agar agar helps create that perfect jelly consistency.

Top with a dollop of vegan whipped cream for the full Irish Coffee experience.

Just maybe don’t have these for breakfast. Or do. I’m not your mom. 🤷‍♀️

And there you have it, folks! Eight vegan jello shot recipes that’ll knock your socks off and have all your friends wondering how you became such a mixology master.

Remember, the key to great vegan jello shots is using agar agar instead of gelatin. It’s plant-based, sets beautifully, and won’t leave you with that weird gelatin aftertaste. Plus, it’s cruelty-free, so you can party with a clear conscience. Win-win!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But wait, won’t my non-vegan friends be able to tell these are vegan?”

Trust me, honey, they won’t have a clue. These shots are so good, they’ll be too busy asking for seconds (and thirds) to even think about what they’re made of.

And let’s be real, isn’t that the ultimate vegan victory? Sneaking plant-based goodness into people’s lives without them even realizing it? I think yes.

So go forth, my vegan party animals, and spread the jello shot love!

Just remember to drink responsibly, stay hydrated, and maybe have a snack or two in between shots.

Nobody likes a hangover, vegan or not.

I’m always down to “test” new jello shot flavors. You know, for science. 🧪🥂

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some, uh, research to conduct. Cheers!
