These sour patch shooters are so much fun and while they use gelatin, they are not “jello” shots. You can make them into “jello” shots if you choose to. And obviously, you can choose whatever flavors you want. I chose orange, cherry, and lime. You could do blue raspberry or lemon to round out the colors of actual sour patch kids.
