I've hosted lots of big parties over the years with this recipe. It's a basic recipe with a great alcohol ratio. Keeps everybody going without falling out too early. Makes 10 servings... because with Jello Shots it's always a 2 shot minimum! Ingredients:
2 (3 ounce) packages cherry jell-o |
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |
2 cups water (boiling) |
1 cup ice water |
1 cup everclear alcohol (ice-cold) |
Directions:
1. In a blender add Jell-O, Gelatin, and then Water (boiling). Cover and blend on low speed until dissolved (about 30 seconds).
2. Pour in Ice Water and Alcohol (ice-cold), re-cover, and blend on high speed for 1 minute.
3. Uncover and equally pour into 20 (2 oz.) Plastic Portion Cups 3/4 full, carefully seal with Lids, and place level in refrigerator.
4. Allow to chill overnight. The Shots will stay good all weekend!
5. TIP: A good rule of thumb for choosing basic Jello Shots flavors is to pick only Blue, Purple, or Red colors. They just taste better.
6. TIP: 1/2 tablespoon Powdered or Granulated Gelatin equals 1 (0.25 oz) envelope Unflavored Gelatin.
7. TIP: Measure Water (boiling) only after it has finished heating.
8. TIP: Add small ice pieces with cold water to make 1 equal cup Ice Water. It melts and blends better.
9. TIP: Make sure Alcohol is (ice-cold) by freezing bottle for at least 3 hours.
10. TIP: Plastic Portion Cups can be obtained at most restaurant supply stores - don't forget the lids!
11. TIP: Put a drop of Yellow Food Coloring in the Blue Jell-O for St. Patrick's Day.
