I have plenty of low carb and keto friendly Christmas cocktails on this blog, so this time I wanted to try something different - glittery Jello shots! Although, not using actual Jello, of course, but my favorite Simply Delish jel dessert!

I came up with two ways of making these jel shots, and I'll let you decide which you prefer:

Option 1 - Lime Jel Dessert, Strawberry or Raspberry Jel Dessert plus alcohol - both with optional drink glitter
Option 2 - Unflavored Jel Dessert, with alcohol, flavorings, sweetener, and glitter

Option one is obviously easier, but I didn't think the flavors were what I wanted for a Christmas treat. The unflavored jel is a lot more versatile, but doesn't have any flavor, sweetness, or color. The glitter takes care of the color, so that's easy. I used apple flavoring for the green and pomegranate flavoring for the red. But obviously feel free to get creative!

For the sweetener (not shown), you could try liquid stevia or make your own low carb simple syrup!

Whichever option you select, you can find the Simply Delish range on Amazon!

How to Make Keto Holiday Jel Shots

This method is for the unflavored jel which is a little more complicated. For the flavored jel version, follow as below but omit the flavoring and sweetener.

For each flavor, dissolve one packet of unflavored Simply Delish Jel into ⅓ cup of cold water. Next, add a cup of boiling water and whisk to combine.

Working quickly, stir in some vodka (or clear spirit of choice), flavoring, liquid sweetener (to taste), and drink glitter if using. If you choose not to use the glitter you may like to add some coloring too. Pour into three glasses or cups (I used small plastic cups that hold about quarter cup each).

Let cool and then place in the fridge for at least an hour. Repeat with any other flavors or colors that you choose.

The jel is so sparkly and pretty!
