Instructions

Prepare the Jello Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the gelatin powder with boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Then add the cold water and non-alcoholic juice, mixing well. If desired, add green food coloring to achieve a more vibrant shade.
Pour into Shot Glasses: Arrange shot glasses or small cups on a baking sheet for stability. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into each glass filling them about three-quarters full.
Chill and Set: Place the filled shot glasses in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 4 hours or until the gelatin is fully set and firm to the touch.
Garnish and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge and top each jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle green edible glitter or sprinkles and add mini shamrock-shaped candies for a festive finish.

Notes

For a more intense green color, add a few drops of green food coloring.
Use cold fruit juice options such as apple or lime to complement the gelatin flavor.
Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved in boiling water to avoid lumps.
Chilling time may vary slightly depending on refrigerator settings.
