Jello Shot Recipe

6 package watermelon jell-o
6 cup boiling water
6 cup Malibu® coconut rum

Mix hot water and jello. Add rum. Pour into 2 ounce cups. Serve after the jello has set.

6 ounces Jello (large package)
16 ounces Water (boiling)
6 ounces Water (cold)
10 ounces Vodka
Mix the jello mix with the boiling water until the powder is fully dissolved and add the cold water and alcohol. Pour the cooling mixture into either shot glasses or paper cups. Shot glasses are more attractive, but drinker can turn the paper cups inside-out to more easily eat the alcoholic jello

Just a bit of advice: Make sure the jello has cooled before adding any alcohol. Get it to room temperature first. You'll have a better reaction if you do so. Alcohol evaporates when hot. So quickly adding the alcohol after boiling defeats the purpose. Good Luck!

Oh and any kind of alcohol works. We did ours with flavor: Malibu Rum, Grey Goose Vodka (those were extremely strong), etc.

Guess I attack it pretty simple. I do the "Quick Set" directions and instead of filling the cup with water around the ice, I use vodka. Never had any complaints!

Jello shot tubes are available from "Suck and Blow" go to suckandblow.com and you will find some fun ideas!

We use any flavor jello with almost any liquor. Usually, the small box of jello calls for 1 cup of hot water and 1 cup of cold. We replace the cup of cold with 3/4 cup of alcohol and 1/4 cup of water (we tried a full cup of alcohol and they were really strong and some had a hard time "setting").

We use shallow plastic condiment cups that can be purchased at Sam's Club or Costco.

Get creative with the combinations. We've done some of the following:
Tequila or Run & Lime Jello
Amaretto & Orange Jello
Vodka - pretty much is good with any flavor.
Rum - works with lots of different flavors, too.

Finally, we also usually make a mix of sugar free and regular - both work fine.

Good luck!

I made Jello shots for my husbands Surprise 30th party with about 70 people and they were a HIT! People are still talking about them and asking me to make them for every other party we go to.

Try substituting juice for the water. If you want even more flavor, you can even use frozen juice concentrates. Shooters are usually strong tasting anyway, so the strong taste of the concentrate goes well.

I changed it up and made a variety depending on what I bought. For example if I made Pina Colada Jello Shots, I would get Pina Colada Frozen Concentrate and substitute the cold water with that! The FLAVOR was amazing. Or you could make Raspberry Jello shots and substitute the cold water with Raspberry Juice. Just chill the juice so it is cold.

Hope this helps!
