How many jello shots does a 6 oz box make?

Answered by Rodney Landry

A 6 oz box of jello is typically larger than the standard small box of jello, so it will yield more jello shots. The exact number of jello shots that a 6 oz box will make depends on the size of the shots you are making and the amount of liquid you use.

To give you a general idea, a small box of jello (about 3 oz) yields about 15 jello shots, which is equivalent to 2 cups of liquid. So a 6 oz box, which is double the size, will likely yield around 30 jello shots.

When making jello shots, it's important to follow the instructions on the box and adjust the amount of liquid accordingly. The standard ratio is 1 cup of boiling to dissolve the jello and 1 cup of cold water or to set the shots. However, many people prefer to use less water and replace some or all of it with alcohol to create stronger shots.

If you choose to use all alcohol in your jello shots, keep in mind that different alcohols have different alcohol content, so the strength of the shots may vary. It's also important to note that using too much alcohol can sometimes prevent the jello from setting properly, so it's best to experiment and find the right balance for your tastes.

When making jello shots, it can be helpful to use a baking sheet or a tray with individual shot-sized molds to easily transport them to the refrigerator. This will also help ensure that the shots set evenly and maintain their shape.

In my personal experience, I have found that a 6 oz box of jello is perfect for parties or gatherings where you want to make a larger batch of jello shots. It provides enough shots to satisfy a decent-sized group, and you can easily customize the flavors and alcohol content to suit everyone's tastes.

A 6 oz box of jello will likely yield around 30 jello shots, but the exact number may vary depending on the size of the shots and the amount of liquid used. It's always a good idea to experiment and adjust the recipe to find the perfect balance for your jello shots.
