I found these online under the name Pot of Gold Jello Shots, but jello shots involving Goldschläger  (often with other flavors added) seem pretty common in general. Ours wound up much darker and less translucent than most, mostly because I used coconut sugar instead of regular white sugar. They’re pretty good, though, if you like cinnamon.

Differences from the recipe as written:

• The sugar was replaced with a combination of cocnut sugar, allulose, and golden monk fruit.
• We were a little shy of 16 ounces of Goldschläger, so we made up some of the difference with Apple Crown Royale, about a teaspoon of Allspice dram, and water

Reactions: We liked these quite a bit (and still have several in the fridge), and they’re fun, although a little difficult to get out of the tray.

Would we make these again: Maybe? We don’t often engage in the sort of events where you would do jello shots. When discussing it, Partner and I had an exchange like the following:

Me: “We don’t really do D&D-themed parties where it would make sense to have jello shots.”

Partner: “Well, if we went to a Fallout themed thing, we could call them radioactive slime or something.”

Me: “We don’t do Fallout themed parties where that would make sense, either.”

And it’s kind of hard to do single-servings of jello shots. Luckily, jello shots store in the fridge decently well for a little while, at least. I mean, if there’s an excuse to do them again, odds are good (although we might either do all Allulose or just break down and do white sugar in order to get clearer jello blobs).
