These cranberry jello shots are tart, sweet and will even make your uncle’s jokes seem that much funnier at the holiday table. It’s a win/win for everyone.
Pour the sugar onto a small plate. Then prepare the individual cups by rubbing the rims with either orange or lime slices and pressing them into the sugar.
Line the cups up on a tray or dish that you can place into the refrigerator. Set aside.
Bring 2 cups of cranberry juice to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the Jello packet until it is completely dissolved. Then stir in ¾ cup of vodka.
Carefully pour or ladle the Jello into individual serving cups.
Place the tray or dish of Jello shots into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
When the Jello is set, sprinkle the shots with orange and lime zest and serve.
