Jello Shots Tips!
When preparing your jello shots, line up your empty shot glasses or cups on a baking sheet. This makes it easy to transport them to and from the refrigerator and will catch and drips or spills. Use a ladle or glass measuring cup to fill each shot glass, leaving a bit of room at the top for garnish.
How to Serve
These Pot ‘O Gold Jello Shots should be made in advance of your St. Patrick’s Day party since they need to chill until set in the refrigerator. Make the shots up until the step of garnishing them, and keep them chilled in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Then, garnish with whipped cream and enjoy!
