How to Make Amaretto Sour Jello Shots

  1. Prepare the Jello: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (3 ounce) package of lemon Jello with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved.
  2. Add the Citrus: Stir in 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/4 cup of orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau).
  3. Incorporate the Amaretto: Once the Jello mixture has slightly cooled (but is still liquid), gently stir in 1/2 cup of Amaretto liqueur.
  4. Pour and Chill: Carefully pour the Jello mixture into 10 (2 ounce) souffle cups or shot glasses.
  5. Set and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello shots are completely firm. Enjoy responsibly!
  6. Optional Garnish: Before serving, garnish each shot with a lemon twist or a maraschino cherry.
