Cheers to Jello Shots

Print
We've got a party tonight and besides bringing 'Chocolate-Covered Oreo Cookie Cake,' I'm bringing these little beauties!!! By the way, check Drink Street for more interesting jello shot recipes.

Jello Shots
6 ounces Jello (large package)
16 ounces Water (boiling)
6 ounces Water (cold)
10 ounces Vodka
Mix the jello mix with the boiling water until the powder is fully dissolved and add the cold water and alcohol. Pour the cooling mixture into either shot glasses or paper cups. Shot glasses are more attractive, but drinker can turn the paper cups inside-out to more easily eat the alcoholic jello.

Beer Jello Shots
6 ounces Strawberry Jello
16 ounces Water (boiling)
16 ounces Malt Liquor (I used Sapporo, a Japanese beer)
Mix the jello mix with two cups (16 ounces) of boiling water until the powder is fully dissolved and add the malt liquor. The cold water called for by the recipe on the box is replaced by the malt liquor. Pour the mixture into either shot glasses or paper cups. Shot glasses are more attractive, but the paper cups are easier to eat from.

Margarita Jello Shots
6 ounces Lime Jello (large box)
16 ounces Water (boiling)
6 ounces Tequila
2 ounces Triple Sec
1 ounce Lime Juice
1 ounce Water (cold)
Mix the jello mix with the boiling water until the powder is fully dissolved and then add the rest of the water and the alcohol. Pour the mixture into either shot glasses or paper cups. Shot glasses are more attractive, but the paper cups are easier to eat from.

NOTE:
I use Solo's 2 oz. souffle cups with lids, which I can purchase at Spec's Liquor. If you don't have a Spec's near you, then check your local liquor store.
