The best green Jello shots recipes

Green jello shots are a must-have for any festive gathering from Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day to tailgating parties.

Especially since you can make them in any shade, from lime green to dark green. So you can find a recipe that will work with your theme.

These shots are not only super easy to make but also bring an interesting mix of flavors often inspired by traditional cocktails like Margaritas. Which means they taste good, too!

And they’re made in advance so you don’t have to spend your whole party mixing drinks while everyone else has fun.

  • These Moscow Mule Jello Shots have all the refreshing lime and ginger flavor of the classic cocktail in an easy make-ahead party shot.

    Garnished with a lime wedge and fresh mint, they look just as good as they taste.

  • If you enjoy the crisp, sweet-tart flavor of an Appletini, these Jello shots are sure to be your new favorite.

    They taste just like a green apple martini!

    And the bright green color makes them one of my favorite recipes for St Patrick’s Day and Grinch parties.

  • These Margarita Jello Shots have all the refreshing lime and tequila flavor of the classic cocktail.

    Made with Tequila and Margarita Mix, they’re super simple to put together and actually taste like the real deal.

    So they work for everything from Cinco de Mayo to summer cookouts and football parties.

  • Or for a darker green, try this Blue Curacao Margarita Jello Shots recipe.

    The Blue Curacao not only deepens the color but also adds a bit of orange flavor to the mix. (Which some people say is the only way to make a _good_ Margarita.)

    Perfect for St Patrick’s Day or any festive gathering!

  • If you love the combination of apples and cinnamon, this Green Apple Cinnamon Fireball Jello Shots recipe is for you.

    With just a few ingredients and simple steps, these shots are easy to make and taste like boozy apple pie in a shot cup.

    And their lime green color makes them a great choice Halloween parties.

  • For a fun twist on the classic Purple Hooter cocktail, try these green and purple layered jello shots.

    The combination of lime and grape jello with vodka and Chambord creates a delicious (and pretty) treat with the perfect colors for Halloween.

    The layers are a little more work to put together, but I think the end result is worth it!

  • If you’re celebrating Mardi Gras, these layered purple, yellow, and green jello shots are for you.

    They’re made with vodka and flavored liqueurs so they taste great and match the decor.

    You could also turn them into Green Bay Packers Jello shots by eliminating the purple layer.

    That’s the beauty of Jello shots! They’re so versatile.
