The summer season is upon us, and what better way to cool off and have some fun than with a delightful treat that combines the nostalgic flavors of childhood with a playful adult twist? Sharing two ideas for summer jello pools – one for kids and one for adults.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a poolside bash, or simply looking to elevate your summer soirée, these jello shots are guaranteed to be a hit. They not only taste fantastic but also serve as a conversation starter, eliciting smiles and creating lasting memories.
Jello shots have long been a favorite among partygoers, offering a creative and boozy alternative to traditional cocktails. Creating these summer-themed jello shots is a breeze. All you need is blue jello or jello snack packs, some cheap vodka, gummy bears and peach rings. The jello serves as a pool around the “floating” vodka-soaked gummy bears, transforming them into delightful little floating companions that will add a touch of whimsy to your gathering.
The choice of gummy bear flavors is entirely up to you, but I recommend using vibrant and tropical options like pineapple, watermelon or citrus. The combination of juicy fruit flavors with the chewy gummy bears and the sweet peach rings creates a sensory experience that is both playful and refreshing.
So, gather your friends, put on some lively tunes, and get ready to embark on a flavor adventure that will transport you back to your carefree childhood days. Stay tuned for the full recipe, as we guide you through the simple steps to create these delightful summer jello shots with gummy bears floating in peach ring inner tubes. It’s time to dive into a pool of fun and flavor!

Jello Shot Recipe:
- 3 ounces blue jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup cheap vodka
- Pour the jello mix into a medium mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water into the bowl and whisk until jello is completely dissolved. Pour in the vodka and cold water and whisk once more to combine. Pour into the cups until they are about three-quarters full. Place in the fridge until the jello is set.
