Introduction
- Jello shots can be a great alternative to serving traditional alcoholic beverages. By substituting alcohol for a portion of the water used in a normal Jello recipe, you can create a delicious snack that also contains the alcohol content of your favorite drink. Not only are they easy to make and fun to drink, but you can customize the basic recipe to make whatever flavored shot you enjoy most! Follow the instructions below in order to make a tasty treat that will be a hit at your next party or get-together.

What You'll Need
- (Note: 1 cup = 8 ounces)
- 6 ounces of Jello or gelatin mix (usually 1 large package) - Any flavor except sugar-free
- 16 ounces of boiling water
- 6 ounces of cold water
- 20 small plastic cups or shot glasses
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Mixing bowl
- 10 ounces of 80-proof hard alcohol (cold).
- Note: While vodka is the most common type of alcohol used in Jello shots, any type of hard liquor will do. See below for various Jello/alcohol flavor combinations.

How to Make a Jello Shot
- Pour the contents of your Jello packet into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the boiling water while stirring gently. Let it sit for a minute so that the gelatin can fully activate.
- Stir in the alcohol and cold water.
- Set up your small cups or shot glasses on a serving tray.
- Give each cup a small spray of cooking oil. This will help keep the Jello from sticking to the bottom.
- Pour the alcohol/jello/water mixture into the cups or glasses
- Place your tray of Jello shots in the refrigerator and let them cool for at least two hours.
- Remove from the fridge, serve and enjoy!

Jello Syringes
- Purchase a number of safe and clean Jello Injectors from a reputable party or bartending supply store.
- Make your Jello/alcohol mixture the same way you would a normal Jello Shot.
- Instead of pouring the mixture into cups, take your injectors and suck up enough of the mixture to fill the syringe.
- Place your injectors in the refrigerator let them cool.
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips, Tricks and Warnings
- Use alcohol that has been kept in the freezer for at least an hour before use. This will help to minimize vapor loss.
- While shot glasses may look cooler, using paper cups will make it easier to access the Jello.
- If you don't have paper cups or shot glasses, an ice tray will also work for holding the Jello shots.
- If you want a more potent Jello shot, you can try using more alcohol and less water in your recipe. But be careful, if there is too much alcohol and not enough water, the Jello won't set and you'll have a runny, gooey mess.
- Be Careful! Although Jello shots may taste great, they still have as much alcohol in each of them as a full glass of beer, wine or a shot of hard alcohol. And because the alcohol is mixed in with the Jello, it takes longer for you to feel its effects, making it harder for you to accurately judge how drunk you really are.
