I’m all about… all things cranberry as soon as they come out every year. And thought it would be fun to make some cranberry flavored jello shots. 

I used cranberry juice, vodka, and jello. Cranberry jello is available at Walmart or amazon, black cherry is a great option if you can’t find cranberry or use Knox gelatin. 

These are festive and for a cute garnish place, some rosemary sprigs into some fresh cranberries. 

Another possible flavor option is to use cranberry and a little lime for a citrusy kick. I’m thinking raspberry and lemon will be a great flavor as well.

These are the size cups I used, you can use smaller cups as well.

These would be fun for a Friendsgiving, or maybe to amp things up on Thanksgiving if you have to wait for the main course to be served.

Great at a holiday party.

New Years…

You name it.

It’s been fun having them in the fridge to enjoy on a moments notice!

The amount of vodka can be adjusted to you liking, regular or strong. 

Alternatively, you can make them without vodka, for a fun small festive jello cups to serve to everyone.
