JELLO SHOTS



Information


About Jello Shots

A party favorite. Where many flavor variations exist.
Substitute the rum in the recipe with
midori melon liqueur and you'll have something unique.

Orange or cherry jello (jell-O or "gelatin dessert")
works well with brandy, while peach jello
tends to suit bourbon (jack daniel's)
as raspberry jello does raspberry schnapps.

Many jello shot recipes simply call for
a flavored jello and vodka, or even rum.
Keep in mind, when planning your parties,
it's a good idea to provide for several tastes.

Try Some Of The Following Popular Combinations:

Lime Jello, Tequila & Triple Sec

Orange Jello, Orange Cognac/Brandy (ie. Grand Marnier)
or Peach Schnapps

Cherry Jello, Cherry Brandy

Raspberry Jello, Raspberry Schnapps

Tropical Fruit Jello, Mango Liqueur or Dark Rum

Peach Jello, Bourbon (Rebel Yell)

Unflavored Jello & Lemonade, Kentucky Whisky

Strawberry Jello, Light Rum & Strawberry Liqueur

Apricot Jello, Amaretto

Grape Jello, Vodka

When allowing jello shots to set, chill them in individual servings; in an ice cube tray, or similar equipment.

Note that the water in jello shot recipes is required to allow the jello to set.

If for some reason you find your mix fails to set, you either need to add more water, or use less.

In either case, you'll need to start from scratch.

(Don't add more gelatine at a later stage - the water isn't boiling, and your shots will have a grainy texture.)

JELL-O SHOOTERS

Basic Jello Shooter

6 oz. vodka
6 oz. water
3 oz. Jello gelatin, any flavor

Think jiggly or slushy or syrupy.
Imagine the slide of a semi-solid down your throat.

Combine vodka and water in a saucepan and bring to boil.
Stir in Jello. Let set in refrigerator.
Experiment to choose the length of time you want it to set.
Longer = firmer.

Jello shots are simple to make and do their job exceptionally well.
The only other trick to them is using different alcohols
and Jello flavors to create new tastes.

    Pina Colada Jello Shots

    1 box 6 oz size of pineapple jello
    1 can coconut milk
    coconut rum
    cold water

    Chill rum in freezer for 2 hours before making.

    Dissolve the jello according to box directions.

    Depending on how strong you want your shots follow these guidelines.

    For mild shots add 1 cup cold rum, 3/4 cup cold water 1/4 cup coconut milk.

    **For stronger shots add 1 & 1/2 cups cold rum 1/4 cup cold water, and 1/4 cup coconut milk**

    Mix with a spoon, then ladle into shot glasses of your choice. I usually buy the smallest silo plastic cups and lids and use a turkey baster to transfer the liquid into the cups. Snap the caps on and put into refrigerator. If you want a fast set put them into the freezer for an hour. Or make ahead and freeze for a while and then bring out about an hour before the party.

    You can also make Blue Hawaiians doing this:

    Small box / 3/4 cup of cold rum and 1/4 cup of Blue Curacao
    Large box / 1 & 1/4 cup cold rum and 1/4 cup Blue Curacao
