Tip
Some people prefer the 2 ounce cups for jello shots and those work well too, you
just will get less shots out of each batch.
This recipe is really easy to double or triple (and I recommend it!)

What if they taste too strong?
If you think these will be too strong, you can use ½ cup water and ½ cup vodka or
¾ cup vodka and ¼ cup water, or any variation you like as long as you have 1
cup.

What kind of gummy rings do I use?

You can also use green apple or watermelon gummi rings, whichever you can
find 🙂

What if I don’t have Gummy bears , what else can I use?

Swedish fish would look cute, honestly any gummi you have would work!
