Making gelatin shots is like making regular Jell-O, except with alcohol added instead of just cold water. It is poured into shot glasses or tiny cups instead of bowls.

Ingredients

1. 16 ounces (2 cups) boiling water
2. 6 oz. package of gelatin (flavored or unflavored)
3. 6 ounces cold water.
4. 10 ounces Vodka (see Tips for options)

Steps

1. Bring water to a rolling boil then remove from heat.
2. Stir together boiling water and powdered gelatin in a medium mixing bowl. Stir constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved.
3. Stir in cold water and Vodka.
4. Pour mixture into shot glasses or individual shot-size (1oz-2oz) plastic cups.
5. Place shots on a tray in refrigerator (not the freezer). Chill until firm. Approx. 2-4 hours. Refrigerate until served.
6. Makes 40 1oz. shots or 20 2oz. shots

Tips

• Chill alcohol at least one hour prior to adding to mixture. (not in freezer)
• Depending on the proof of alcohol you use, adjust the proportions of alcohol to cold water to ensure that the shot still sets. Use the following ratios:
  • 13 ounces of 30-50 (~20%) proof alcohol to 3 ounces cold water
  • 10 ounces 80-100 (~45%) proof alcohol to 6 ounces cold water (U.S. standard)
  • 6 ounces 150-200 proof alcohol to 10 ounces cold water
• If you would like more "potent" shots, you can "push" the recipe a bit. This variation makes 6 large cups with 2 ounces of alcohol each, or 12 small cups with 1oz of alcohol each, yet still sets hard and tastes great.
• Although shot glasses look prettier and allow you to see the vibrant colors of the Jello, paper cups allow for easier Jello shot consumption as they can be turned inside out. Ice cube trays also work well.
• EZ-Squeeze Jello Shot cups have been introduced at the 2008 Las Vegas Bar/Nightclub Convention. EZ-Squeeze disposable cups are designed from a clear plastic accordian-like cup that compresses flat when you squeeze it, thus forcing all of the contents (jello) out into your mouth seamlessly. There is no need to loosen or dig the jello out and the cups do not leak unlike the paper alternative.
• When serving large parties use more water and less alcohol in your shots to help cut costs and better control intoxication.
• To make the jello easier to consume, buy plastic cups that also have lids. Pour the mix into the cup, add the lid, then turn it upside down prior to refrigeration.
• Be creative in mixing Jello flavors with alcohol. If you have a favorite alcoholic drink, try converting it into Jello shot form using unflavored Jello, juice, soda and alcohol.
  • Orange and cherry are Jello flavors that work well with Brandy.
  • You can match fruit flavored liquor with fruit flavored Jello.

• Here are some popular liquor and Jello flavor combinations:
  • Lime Jello with tequila and Triple Sec (try adding a pinch of salt to the liquid mixture)
  • Lime Jello with Coconut Rum
  • Orange jello with orange cognac and brandy (such as Grand Marnier) or peach Schnapps
  • Unflavored gelatin with Coca Cola and rum
  • Cranberry Jello with vodka
  • Cherry Jello with cherry brandy
  • Raspberry jello with raspberry Schnapps
  • Tropical fruit Jello (or unflavored gelatin mixed with fruit punch) with dark rum or mango liqueur
  • Unflavored Jello with lemonade and whiskey
  • Strawberry Jello with light rum and strawberry liqueur (such as Pucker)
  • Apricot Jello with amaretto
  • Lime Jello with Sake
  • Lime Jello with Sprite, Pimm's, and cucumber garnish
  • Strawberry Jello with champagne (retains some bubbles!)
  • Orange Jello with amaretto
  • Pineapple Jello with coconut rum
  • Blue Jello with Everclear
  • Black Cherry with Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum
  • Orange Jello with Absolut Mandrin

Orange Slice Jell-O shots ;)

How to:
You take a bunch of oranges, and cut them in half. Then, using a spoon, you can cut around the edges between the rind and the fruit's inner skin, and detach the fruit, leaving just the rind of half an orange. Fill the halves with Jello, let it set until firm, and then cut the halves into thirds. The result is what you see above. :)
