Common Questions About Making Eggnog Jello Shots
What is a jello shot?
Jello shots are a fun spin on a classic shot. Instead of jello being made with flavored gelatin and water, you substitute alcohol in for part of the liquid in the recipe.
Can I use homemade eggnog?
You sure can! Personally, I always make this recipe using my homemade eggnog recipe but you could also use my eggless eggnog recipe if you aren’t an egg person.
What alcohol can I add to an eggnog jello shot?
So there are a few options for what alcohol you can use in an eggnog jello shot because so many different alcohols taste great with eggnog. I would suggest –

- RumChata
- Amaretto
- Cognac
