Edible Glitter Jello Shots: How Many One Jar Covers

How much edible glitter do you need for jello shots? Far less than the videos suggest, and it costs about 15 cents a shot. The recipe in this episode is a test-kitchen classic: each 3-ounce box of flavored gelatin makes about 12 shots, so 2 boxes make 2 dozen, with 1 cup of vodka and a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part vodka. Pour into 2-ounce shot glasses and the shots set in about three hours. At the printed serving of 0.1 grams, 24 shots take 2.4 grams, so one 10 gram jar covers 4 batches, or 96 shots. The hosts disagree on where the glitter goes: Margaux loves the layered version, with a shimmer line between two set layers, and Dana wants one pour and a sprinkle on top. Dana wins the round, because each layer has to set completely and a New Year's Eve afternoon does not have 6 hours of fridge time to spare.
