Ingredients
  

Jello Shot Mixture

  • 1 1/3 cups ginger ale
  • 2 envelopes plain gelatin
  • 2/3 cup Fireball Whisky
  • a few drops red food coloring optional

Toppings

  • Whipped cream or buttercream frosting for topping
  • Ground cinnamon or red sprinkles for garnish
  • Mini cupcake liners or small plastic cups for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pour ginger ale into a saucepan and sprinkle plain gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin fully dissolves, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in Fireball Whisky and add red food coloring if desired.

Setting

  • Arrange mini cupcake liners on a baking sheet or use small plastic cups.
  • Pour the gelatin mixture into each liner, filling them 3⁄4 full.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Topping and Serving

  • Once set, top each shot with whipped cream or buttercream frosting.
  • Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or red sprinkles for a spicy-sweet touch.
  • Keep refrigerated until serving and enjoy!

Notes

These cupcakes can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover well to maintain freshness. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Fireball Whisky with cinnamon-flavored syrup.
