Do you want to know how to make a jello shot? Jello shots are usually made by using making packaged Jell-O and replacing some of the water with alcohol. Typically vodka is used as the alcohol, but rum, tequila, or grain alcohol can also be used. For a vegetarian or vegan alternative, (many gelatins contain fish bladders and calves' hooves), the gelatin in jello shots can be substituted with agar or carrageenan, both products that are produced from seaweed.

One very common problem with jello shots is overconsumption. Since the shots are very sweet, contain a relatively small amount of alcohol, and are not filling, people have been known (particularly at parties) to consume too many, leading to drunkenness. Since they are a typical party favor, guests tend to drink a bona fide beverage in addition to eating several jello shots. While there is no good rule of thumb for how many one should eat (variances in alcoholic content, other beverages, and the span of time over which they are consumed), it is advisable to limit oneself to only a few jello shots, thus experiencing the fun and sweet taste while remaining relatively sober.

Jello shot recipes can be customized to fit with a variety of themes, especially holidays. With a wide array of colored gelatin mixes available, nearly any color combination can be created. Some of the most popular themed Jello shots are Halloween Jello Shots. These Jello shots have been dyed to match spooky or grotesque Halloween themes, and include additional ingredients, like gummy worms and insects.http://www.jello-shots-and-shooters.com/halloween-jello-shots-recipes.html
