Rate: (16 Ratings)

You'll be eating these fruity shooters with a spoon instead of drinking them. (Or slurping them, as the case may be.) Makes about eight shooters.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Liquor
  • Whipped Cream
  • 3 oz. package any flavor Jell-O®
  • 3/4 c. boiling water
  • 6 ice cubes
  • 1/2 c. vodka

Step1
Stir Jell-O into boiling water.
Step2
Boil for 2 minutes.
Step3
Add vodka and six ice cubes.
Step4
Stir until thickened.
Step5
Remove remaining ice.
Step6
Pour mix into molds or cups and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Step7
Top the shots with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use regular, not sugar-free, Jell-O.
  • Substitute gin or tequila for vodka.
  • Dip the bottom of the mold in hot water after the Jell-O has set to make it easier to remove.
  • Mixed drinks contain alcohol, so use moderation.
  • Never drink and drive.

on 12/30/2006 Jell-o Shots --> use little paper "candy cups" that you can find at the dollar store or any party store, they are inexpensive. If you are unsure as to what candy cups are, just think of the ketchup cups at your local fast food resturants; they look just like them. Pour your Jell-o mixture into each, let set and serve. Your guests can just suck the jell-o shots right out and/or just squeeze the bottom and collapse the cup and take the Jell-o shot!!!

on 9/2/2006 Instead of ice cube trays or plastic cups, use Reynolds Foil Baking Cups (discard the paper liner) pour Jell-O right into cup, then when ready to serve, just peal away foil and shoot. Always a big hit at our parties.

on 8/8/2006 Don't use water at all, just substitute cheap vodka for the water called for on the back of the Jell-O package.

on 4/3/2006 Instead of using a cake pan or ice cube trap, use little plastics shot cups. They're easier to serve and lots of fun.
