Green Apple Cinnamon Fireball Jello Shots (2024)

Made from apple gelatin, apple juice and Fireball whiskey, this green apple cinnamon Fireball Jello shots recipe tastes like boozy apple pie in a shot cup.

Do you love jello shots?

And apples?

And cinnamon whiskey?

Oh good. You’re in the right place!

These green apple cinnamon Fireball jello shots are awesome.

And so easy to make!

They’re my go-to jello shot for Halloween and Christmas parties. Both the color and the flavor work so well in the fall.

But really…if you love this flavor combination as much as I do, you’ll want to make these gelatin shots ALL. THE. TIME.

Ingredients

Here’s your shopping list:

• Gelatin: 1 small box of Jolly Rancher Green Apple gelatin
• Mixer: ¼ cup apple juice or cider
• Alcohol: ¾ cup fireball whiskey – you can use any type of cinnamon whiskey, but Fireball is my favorite

Substitutions

• If you don’t have apple juice, you can substitute water if you prefer (you’ll just have a little less apple goodness).
• For a stronger jello shot, use Apple Pucker (or Apple Schnapps) instead of the apple juice.

Equipment

And this is the equipment you’ll need:

• Plastic shot cups: This 2-ounce size with lids* works best
• Baking sheet: This catches any spills and makes moving them to the refrigerator easier
• Kettle or pot: For boiling water
• Mixing bowl: Preferably with a pour spout (like this*)
• Measuring cup: I like this one* that you can read from the top.
• Long-handled spoon: For stirring
• Mini spoons (optional): To eat the jello shots with. I like these ones*.

How To Make Green Apple Cinnamon Fireball Jello Shots

You can get an overview of the process from my video:

The great thing about using pre-mixed gelatin is that it’s really easy to make!

I start by laying out my shot cups. You’ll need about 16 of them.

That’s how many jelly shots I usually get out of one box filling the shot cups about ¾ full. You may get a couple more or a couple less depending on how full you make them.

Make The Gelatin

The next 3 steps are your standard jello recipe steps:

• Pour the gelatin into a mixing bowl. Ideally your bowl should have a pouring spout. That will make getting the mixture into the shot cups much easier.
• Boil some water in a kettle or pot.
• Add 1 cup of the boiling water into the gelatin.
• Stir until all of the crystals have dissolved.

Add The Alcohol

Now comes the part that turns plain gelatin into shots.

Add ¼ cup apple juice and ¾ cup Fireball whiskey to the mixture.

You can adjust the amount of apple juice and whiskey you add depending on how strong you want your jello shots to be.

Just make sure that when you add the two together, it comes out to 1 cup. I do this by pouring them both into a measuring cup, making sure it comes out to 1 cup and then pouring it into the gelatin mixture.

You can add a little less liquid if you want your jello shots to be a bit stiffer. But don’t add more or they won’t set.

Pour the gelatin mixture into the shot cups.

Refrigerate

Put the lids on.

I like to wait until the liquid has cooled completely before I do this.

That prevents water from condensing on the inside of the lids.

The water doesn’t hurt anything but they look better without it.

Refrigerate until set, usually 2 to 4 hours.

Serve

These shots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, although I usually make them the day before. It may be all in my head, but I think they taste fresher if they haven’t been sitting around too long.

I also like to serve them with a small spoon (like this one*). Most of my friends prefer to eat them that way, rather than guzzling them straight from the shot cup.
