Notes
- Be sure to allow the gelatin to cool before mixing to avoid curdling the sherbet.
- Use plastic shot glasses for easy serving and portion control.
- Melt sherbet completely to ensure smooth mixing.
- Store leftover jello shots in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best taste and texture.
- Adjust alcohol quantity slightly if you prefer stronger or milder shots, but be careful not to disrupt the gelatin setting.
