Heat your juice over medium to high heat until it boils and and sprinkle in your agar agar a little at a time, whisking the mixture as you go until all the powder is dissolved. Agar agar needs a higher heat to activate the gel properties, so make sure your juice comes to a boil before adding.
Pour your juice and powder mix into a bowl and stir in your vodka as well.
Pour your mixture into your molds and let your shots set for 4 hours (or overnight) in the fridge. They should pop out pretty easily and be ready to decorate!
Sprinkle some gold sprinkles on top of your pink domes right before serving and your vegan jello shots are ready to go!

Tawney on 2025-12-24 (4 stars): Mine also came out too firm. Did you ever figure out the right ratio Naysa?
Sara on 2019-10-30 (1 stars): Omg the bio chem lab agar plates is a perfect description for how these turned out for me. Maybe just 1tsp agar agar powder next time?
Brittney on 2018-03-04 (5 stars): So excited to try this. My question is - if I were to make some 'virgin' for the little ones, would I just substitute juice for the vodka 1:1?
Ashleigh on 2018-02-06 (5 stars): This is perfect! I was only thinking the other day what kind of party foods I could make that were vegan. Hello vegan vodka jelly shots! Thanks for posting this :)
Marie on 2018-02-03 (5 stars): Yay for cruelty-free partying !
Just a little something to bear in mind : since it absorbs water so well, agar agar can speed the digestive track considerably. Not very glamorous, I know, but some people react quite strongly and I thought you should be warned.
