Equipment

  • 20 (2-ounce) plastic cups with lids

Ingredients

Jello Base:

  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin or 2 envelopes
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Vodka regular or citrus-flavored

Lemonade Layer:

Tea Layer:

  • ¼ cup Iced Tea

Instructions

Prepare the Cups:

  • Spread the plastic cups out on a baking sheet for easy transport. Set aside.

Bloom the Gelatin:

  • In a small mixing bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water. Whisk to combine and let it sit for 2-3 minutes while you bring 1 cup of water to a simmer.

Dissolve the Gelatin:

  • Pour the hot water into the gelatin mixture and whisk until the gelatin fully dissolves.

Add Sugar and Vodka:

  • Whisk in ½ cup granulated sugar until dissolved, then stir in the vodka.

Divide the Jello Base:

  • Pour half of the jello base into a separate bowl (you should have about 1 cup of liquid in each bowl).

Make the Lemonade Layer:

  • In one bowl, stir in ¼ cup lemonade.

Make the Tea Layer:

  • In the other bowl, stir in ¼ cup iced tea.

Create the Lemonade Layer:

  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the lemonade jello into the bottom of each plastic cup. Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the jello begins to set and the top is tacky.

Add the Tea Layer:

  • Once the lemonade layer is set, remove the cups from the fridge and pour 2 tablespoons of the tea jello on top of the lemonade layer in each cup.

Chill and Set:

  • Return the cups to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the jello is fully set.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Cover each cup with a lid and store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve these refreshing Arnold Palmer Jello Shots.

Notes

For a simplified version, you can use pre-made Arnold Palmer mix instead of layering. Substitute ½ cup of the mix for the lemonade and iced tea, pour it into the cups, and chill for 2-3 hours—no layering required.
