Instructions
Put a combination of 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup caramel vodka in the refrigerator or freezer to chill.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
When boiling, add 1.5 cups worth of the boiling water to the gelatin in a medium bowl. Mix until the gelatin is completely melted, approximately 2 minutes.
Once melted, add the cold water and vodka mixture. Stir to combine.
Lay your plastic cups out on a baking sheet. Pour the gelatin mixture into each cup.
Place the tray in the refrigerator to chill.
When the gelatin has been setting for approximately 30-45 minutes and the top is just starting to set, insert a gummy worm into each shot so it looks like it is coming out of the gelatin.
Continue chilling until the gelatin is fully set, approximately 2 hours total.
Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
There is a Sonic brand Sour Apple gelatin that is perfect for this recipe. It is sold in a 3.75 ounce package.
If you use a different package that has a different ounce measurement, you will want to adjust all of the water and vodka accordingly. Keep the same amount of boiling water as per package directions. For the cold water, use half water and half caramel vodka for whatever it says.
The parts of the worms that are in the Jello get very soft. If desired, insert the worms just before serving to keep them firmer.
Because the worms get soft, these are best within 24 hours. Without the worms in them, they are best within 3 days.
