Ingredients
- 1 cup amaretto
- 1 cup sour mix
- 1 package (3 oz) lemon Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of amaretto, 1 cup of sour mix, 1 package (3 oz) of lemon Jell-O, 1 cup of boiling water, and 1/2 cup of cold water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon Jell-O powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the Jell-O powder is completely dissolved, ensuring there are no granules left.
- Once the Jell-O is fully dissolved, add 1 cup of amaretto and 1 cup of sour mix to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Next, pour in 1/2 cup of cold water to the mixture. This will help cool down the mixture and ensure a smoother consistency. Stir again to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Prepare your shot glasses or a suitable mold for the jiggle shots. If using a mold, lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray for easier removal later.
- Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture into the prepared shot glasses or mold, filling them about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they set.
- Once all the mixture is poured, place the shot glasses or mold in the refrigerator. Allow them to chill for at least 2 hours or until the Jell-O is fully set and firm to the touch.
- After the jiggle shots have set, remove them from the refrigerator. If using a mold, gently pull the edges away from the sides and invert the mold to release the shots onto a serving platter.
- Serve the Litherland's Amaretto Sour Jiggle Shots chilled. For an extra touch, you can garnish them with a slice of lemon or a maraschino cherry on top for presentation.
- Enjoy these delightful, boozy treats responsibly with friends and family!
Tips
- Chill Time Matters: Make sure to allow at least 2 hours for the jiggle shots to set properly in the refrigerator. If you can, prepare them the night before for a hassle-free party.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of Jell-O or even try different liqueurs to create your own signature jiggle shots!
- Presentation is Key: For an eye-catching presentation, consider using clear shot glasses or decorative molds. Garnishing with a slice of lemon or a maraschino cherry can add a pop of color and a touch of elegance.
- Non-Stick Spray: If using a mold, lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to make it easier to remove the jiggle shots once they are set.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these shots chilled, and encourage your guests to enjoy them responsibly. They’re perfect for toasting at celebrations or simply enjoying with friends!
