How Long Do Starburst Jello Shots Last?

The fantastic thing about jellos shots is you can make them ahead of time! When you’re preparing for a party, there are so many things to do!

The good news is you can make these jello shots several days in advance. Keep them in your refrigerator for up to 3-4 days before the party, which gives you plenty of time to focus on other tasks.

When storing jello shots, make sure you cover them with the lids that come with the plastic shot cups. Just before you serve them up, add your garnishes.
