I grew up reaching for anything pink—especially if it was sweet. Now, I make drinks that do both. These Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots are layered with fruity flavor and a little grown-up twist.
The base is berry jello with vanilla vodka. The top? A mix of pink lemonade jello, Pink Starburst mix, and whipped vodka. They’re as pretty as they are fun—and ridiculously easy to make.
At our last girls’ night, we had these alongside the Twister in a Cup Cocktail and Bikini Bottom Punch Shot. These pink shots? Gone first.

Serving Tips & Fun Variations for Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots
Make Them Pretty and Party-Ready
To really make these Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots pop, use clear plastic shot cups so the layers show. Chill them on a tray lined with ice or serve them on a mirrored platter for that glowing party look. Want a little flair? Add edible glitter or pink sprinkles before the top layer fully sets.
Don’t forget: a small spoon or cocktail stick makes them easier to eat—and way more fun to serve.
Try These Tasty Twists
Want to get creative? Swap vanilla vodka with whipped cream vodka for a dessert-style version. Try raspberry jello on the bottom for a deeper fruit layer, or make them non-alcoholic by using juice instead of liquor.
Hosting a big event? Pair these with Coconut Lime Daiquiri Jello Shots or make a drink tray that includes the Coral Sunset Slammer Cocktail. They all share the same tropical, color-layered vibe.
Mix, chill, and stack them up—these little pink shots go fast, and your guests will be asking for the recipe.

FAQs About Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots
Can I make Pink Pony Jello Shots without alcohol?
Absolutely. Just swap the vodka or rum with cold water, juice, or pink soda for a non-alcoholic version. They’ll still look and taste party-ready.
How far in advance can I make these?
You can prep these up to 3 days in advance. Keep them chilled and covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. They actually hold their shape better with a little extra chill time.
What’s the best vodka to use in these shots?
Flavored vodkas like vanilla or whipped vodka work best. They pair beautifully with fruity jello and create that candy-like finish. You can also try coconut rum if you prefer a tropical twist, like in the Malibu Mermaid Bucket Cocktail.
Can I use different jello flavors?
Definitely. Raspberry or cherry jello works well for the bottom, and you can mix strawberry lemonade with pink Starburst for the top. The key is to contrast color and flavor—like we do in the Ocean Peach Punch.

These Pink Pony Vodka Jello Shots bring a burst of fun in every bite—colorful, sweet, and perfect for parties. Whether you’re hosting a girls’ night, birthday, or just love a playful presentation, these layered shots are easy to make and impossible to ignore. Mix, chill, and let the pink party begin.
