Then use 1/2 the amount of cold water listed and make the other half vodka, OR use all vodka instead of cold water if you want them really strong. It’s possible they’ll just turn out a bit less-chewy, or worst case scenario the gummies might not set properly at all. The jingle was written by Don Bestor, who, at the time, was the bandleader on Jack Benny's radio show, "The Jell-O Program Starring Jack Benny.You can make the shots in a baking pan or (mini) muffin tin coated with nonstick spray, silicone molds, glass shot glasses, or even a retro jello mold if you make a big enough batch.
