Add the jello to a medium mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over the top of it.
Stir until there is no graininess left.
Add the vodka and cold water. Stir well.
Using an injector or pourable measuring cup, fill each shot glass until just under the top.
Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.
Using a frosting bag or spoon, add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each shot and add the sprinkles to the top of the whipped cream.
Place the toothpicks in the middle of each shot. Serve and enjoy!

I had to remove about ½ inch from the bottom of the heart toothpicks for them to fit right. You want the bottom of each toothpick decor to barely sit into the whipped cream for the best look.
If you don’t want the toothpicks to show up in the jello, you can snip them down so they just sit right into the very tip of where the jello starts.
You can use other sprinkles that match the theme, if you can’t find the jimmies.
Be sure you stir the jello thoroughly after adding the boiling water. You don’t want anything floating in your shots.
I wouldn’t go beyond the suggested amount of alcohol. The shots don’t set up well at all if you do. If you’re ok with watery shots, go for it.
You can use other types of alcohol if you prefer, as long as it’s clear and doesn’t change the color of the jello.
I used a frosting bag with a 1M frosting tip for the whipped cream garnish.
