Jello shot recipes

I recommend using a 4 cup (or larger) clear plastic measuring cup. That way you can mix them and pour right into the little cups. You will also need another smaller measuring cup for the liquor. For all the recipes, I use the small packages of Jello. Start with 1 cup of boiling water in the large measuring cup; add the Jello and stir until it?s all dissolved. Then add the liquor and pour into cups. Refrigerate & serve (takes about 4 hours for them to set.) Each batch makes approximately 20 shots (if you use the smaller 1 oz. plastic cups. I think I bought a case of them at Gordon Food Service a while back. They probably have something similar at Costco or Sam's Club.)

Basic Shots:
Any flavor jello (watermelon, orange & berry blue, etc.)
1 cup vodka

Pina Colada:
Pineapple Jello
1 cup coconut rum (Malibu, Parrot Bay, etc.)

Margarita:
Margarita Jello (or lime - can't always find the margarita flavor. Or you can make a double batch using 1 package each of lime and lemon.)
? cup tequilla
? cup Grand Marnier, Cointreau or triple sec

Cosmopolitan:
Cranberry Jello
? cup citrus vodka
? cup Grand Marnier, Cointreau or triple sec

Strawberry Daiquiri:
Strawberry Jello
1 cup dark rum

Sex on the Beach:
Peach Jello
1/3 cup Chambord
1/3 cup Coconut Rum
1/3 cup Midori melon liqueur

Rum Runner:
Strawberry Banana Jello
1/3 cup blackberry brandy
1/3 cup Captain Morgan or Myers Rum
1/3 cup Bacardi 151 Rum
(You can add a few drops of blue food color to make it more purple ? then you can tell it apart from the Cosmo?s.)

Kiddie Jello Shots:
Mix any flavor according to package directions and pour into little cups. Set aside carefully and try not to mix up with the grown-up shots. Do not fall for Lil Pea's or Grayton Kid trying to tell you that there is liquor in them. :oops:

My 21-year-old daughter is very impressed with your Jello shot recipes. She asked for the link. LOL. I had never heard of Jello shots (guess I'm too old school). Definitely will try them!

I'm sure there is a Youtube video out there somewhere with a Jello shot eating/sucking demonstration!

the 3m version (scary strong - i went to college with engineers)

3 cups of pectin (jelly making pectin) mixed according to package directions but with 1/2 to 1/3 the given amount of water and nothing else

place the hot liquid in an ice bath and wait until it has almost, almost, almost congealed

place it quickly into a blender with 2 cups straight liquor and puree or whip for 10-15 seconds to create thousands of tiny pectin bubbles filled with straight liquor

pour the froth into ice cube trays and place them immediately into the refigerator to finish congealing, repeat the blending process if necessary between trays to maintain frothyness

once hardened, they are straight liquor gummy cubes

melts in the mouth, not in the cup

whoo-hoo!

I'm going to have to expand my jello cabinet into some new stuff now that I know I can make them. Between me, Tootsie and Lindabobhat, we'll have everybody seeing stars :rolling:

Put the liquid in a blender...I like this idea!

I did both. It works great either way. the 3 ounce cups require a spoon to eat it with (didn't have the tiny cups - guess we can order them online - nowhere to get them around here).

I'll bring a case for you on my next visit (which could be sooner than later if Cork's invitation still stands!!!!!!!)
