Vodka-Filled Gummy Bear Shots are the perfect candy treat that has been molded and infused with liquor and alcohol, a great alternative to vodka-soaked gummy bears. These are perfect for Jell-O shots, parties, and events.

Vodka soaked gummy bears can get messy very quickly. They are usually super sticky. There is no need to worry about that with this recipe.
Key Recipe Ingredients
You will need Jello-O and vodka for this recipe. I have only tested the recipe using the Jell-O brand and I haven’t tested it using any other gelatin. Your results may vary if you don’t make the recipe as directed.
Gummy Molds
You will need to use a mold. I like this one from Amazon.
What Type of Vodka to Use
You can use any vodka you like. I recommend using your favorite!
How to Make Vodka Gummy Bears
- Add the Jell-O to the vodka and stir until the Jell-O has dissolved.
- Continue to stir or whisk until all of the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
- Continue to stir until the mixture is of liquid consistency.
- Turn off the heat from the stove.
- Using an eyedropper, (the gummy bears kit I ordered from Amazon includes this) fill the gummy bear molds with the Jell-O.
- Place the gummy bear molds in the fridge for 60 minutes or however long it takes to set.
- Remove and serve!
The gummy bears will need to be stored in the fridge after they have molded. Be careful not to leave the gummy bears sitting out in room temperature for long periods of time.

This did not work. I followed the recipe exactly and used Cherry and berry blue jello. The gummies stuck to the molds making it an absolute mess taking out and ruining the bears since they stuck to everything. We found putting the trays in the freezer work much, much better. They tasted fine but I most likely wonโt try this recipe again.

It won't be the consistency of candy. If you have had jell-o gummies, then yes. Similar to that.

Is it 3oz or .3oz sugar free? I am having a heck of a time finding a box that is 3oz I found 3 oz in regular. But sugar free has only been .6 or .3

You measure out the ounces yourself.

I to tried these several times and followed the instructions to a T and mine were just gooey every time, they didnโt harden one bit. Iโve been baking and cooking for over 20 years so I did not misinterpret the recipe or the instructions, I had seen other recipes for these and they consisted of more ingredients and putting in actual work, I guess there is no short cuts to this.

When you make these do you put both boxes of jello together or do one at a time...
