These are an easy-to-make Christmas cookie-flavored (and inspired) jello shot recipe that is perfect to add to your holiday drinks collection. Up the fun department at your Christmas gatherings with these delicious jello shots this Christmas time.
Tips and variations for making this Christmas cookie jello shots recipe:
● You can use Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. Each will change the taste slightly but choose according to your personal preference.
● Finish the top layer of your holiday jello shots with real whipped cream and red sprinkles, green sprinkles, a mix of the two, or some other holiday-inspired jimmies or sprinkles just before serving.
● You can play around with the liquor quantities provided it adds up to one cup. The quantities listed in the recipe result in a more Bailey-ish Jello shot whereas you may prefer the butterscotch or orange to be more pronounced.
Some suggested liquor quantities:
¼ cup Butterscotch Liqueur
½ cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
¼ cup Cointreau Liqueur
Or, try 1/3 of a cup of each liquor for a more orange-y taste.
