Notes
Set out a sheet pan: Spreading out jello shot cups on a sheet pan makes them easy to transfer to the fridge once they’re filled.
Use something with a spout for pouring: A large spouted measuring cup or mixing bowl that has a spout helps prevent spills when you’re pouring the liquid jello into the cups.
Chill all the liquids: Make space in your fridge to chill the grapefruit juice and vodka. This ensures the jello sets properly.
Wait to garnish: Chill the shots until firm and then garnish right before serving.
