How to Serve Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots
Serving your Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots is part of the fun! For a festive display, consider using a spooky platter or a Halloween-themed serving tray. You can also place the jello shots on a table with Halloween decorations to create a festive atmosphere.
Encourage guests to take one shot at a time to fully experience the spooky surprise inside. You can also provide festive napkins and straws for added flair. Make sure to keep the jello shots in the fridge until right before serving, so they stay nice and cold. This adds a refreshing touch that will impress your guests.
How to Store Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots
Storing Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots is easy! Simply cover the tray with plastic wrap to keep them fresh in the refrigerator. These jello shots can last up to a week when stored properly in the fridge. If you’re preparing them in advance, it’s best to leave the whipped cream and blueberries off until you are ready to serve. This way, they maintain their texture and taste.
If you have leftovers, you can put remainings in an airtight container. Just be aware that the lychee may become a bit soggy if left too long, so it’s best to eat them within a few days.
Tips to Make Halloween Eyeball Jello Shots
-
Choose Your Vodka Wisely: The flavor of the vodka can affect the taste of your jello shots. Consider using a flavored vodka, such as berry, for an extra kick.
-
Keep It Cool: Ensure the shots are served cold for the best experience. Warm jello shots lose their texture.
-
Experiment with Colors: Instead of black cherry Jello, try using different flavors and colors for a rainbow of eyeballs!
-
Kid-Friendly Version: You can create a non-alcoholic version by replacing vodka with sparkling water or juice.
-
Fill Smartly: When adding lychee and blueberries, try not to overfill the shot glass so that it can hold its creepy eyeball effect!
Variation
If you’re in the mood for something a little different, consider making "Monster Eyeball Jello Shots." Swap out the black cherry Jello for lime or orange Jello. Use green grapes instead of lychee, and swap in candy eyeballs instead of blueberries. The result will be colorful and just as delightful!
