Can I substitute the vodka in this recipe?
While the recipe calls for 2 ounces of vodka, you could potentially use more Jagermeister or water if you prefer a different alcohol balance.

How should I fill the plastic shot cups?
Fill each cup about three-quarters full to allow space for expansion as the mixture cools.
Do I need lids for the shot cups?

How long do these jello shots take to set?

Can I use a different energy drink besides Red Bull?
Yes, any brand of energy drink can be used, though Red Bull is the traditional choice for Jager Bombs.
What is the preparation time for this recipe?

Are these shots messy to eat?
No, these jello shots are designed to be a mess-free finger food alternative to the liquid drink.

What happens if I add too much alcohol?

Should I grease the cups before pouring?
It is not usually necessary to grease plastic shot cups, but a very light spray of flavorless oil can help the jello slide out easier.
Does this recipe contain caffeine?
Yes, because it uses a full 16-ounce can of Red Bull, the shots will contain caffeine.
Can I use gelatin sheets instead of powder?
This recipe is specifically designed for flavored Jell-O powder; using sheets would require adjusting the ratios and adding flavorings.
Are these shots strong?
The shots contain a mix of Jagermeister and vodka, but the alcohol is diluted by the energy drink and water.
