  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup chilled Pumpkin Pie Moonshine
  • 2 drops black food coloring

Orange Layer

  • 1 box orange Jello mix

  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup chilled spiced rum

Garnish & Supplies

  • Toasted coconut (“hay”)

 Garnish and Serve

  3. Serve and enjoy these spooky shots.

Tips for Success

  • Chilling Time: Make sure each layer sets fully before adding the next layer to prevent them from blending.
  • Decorations: Get creative with your garnish. You can swap out the pumpkin candies for mini Halloween-themed toppers like gummy worms, candy eyeballs, or plastic spiders.
  • Make-Ahead: These Jello shots are perfect for making a day in advance, so you have more time to enjoy the party.

Serving Ideas

To really showcase your Haunted Pumpkin Patch Jello Shots, consider serving them on a spooky tray with Halloween-themed decorations. You could also display them in a mini pumpkin patch scene using small pumpkins, spiderwebs, and other creepy accents.
