  • Jello Shots

    Is there a particular recipe for making Jello Shots ?


    I know that it can't be brain surgery, but we are having a few people over tomorrow night and we would like to serve some.

    Yours in alchohol,

    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.

    ***Site also had additonal information on amount of cold water needed if you decide to use alcohol other than vodka:

    *The Art & Science of the Jello Shot

    You can make jello shots with almost any type of alcohol, but you should adjust the proportions of alcohol and cold water to ensure that the shot still sets. The higher the proof of the alcohol, the more water that is required for it to set.

    Proof Alcohol Cold Water
    30-50 13 ounces 3 ounces
    80-100 10 ounces 6 ounces
    150-200 6 ounces 10 ounces

    1 cup = 8 ounces

    Jello shots can be served in shot glasses, as pictured, and can be virtually any color. Many, though, prefer jello shots in paper cups which can be turned inside out to free the jello from the cup. If you do serve jello shots in shot glasses, be sure to also provide knives, toothpicks, or some other mechanism to free the shot from the glass. Alternatively, warming the glass will cause the jello shot to slide free which can be accomplished by steeping them in warm water for less than a minute.

    If you are planning a jello shot party, consider diluting your shots with more cold water and less alcohol. Since the alcohol is contained within the jello, it is absorbed more slowly and even experienced drinkers will often underestimate how much they have had to drink. They will also be less expensive, can be more often enjoyed, and your party will last longer.

      just follow the recipe to make regular jello. Instead of 2 cups (i believe of water) do half water half vodka. That is what I do! tastes gooooooooooooooood

        Thanks for the help guys! I got raspberry vodka to mix with the cherry and the blue raspberry jello. Maybe I'll just do regular vodka in the cherry jello and the raspberry in the blue. Whatcha think?

              A couple of hours should be adequate...just make sure the fridge is cranked up for max cold just to be safe. You have a seperate beverage fridge at your place?
