3. add 6oz of your desired jello (large package of jello) to the mixing bowl.

   add your desired alcohol to the jello mixture approx 8oz to 10oz depending on your "sin" factor and stir well. (however you want to make sure your jello sets so you may need a little more water if using strong alcohol proof like 99 bananas verse Malibu coconut rum)

7. Arrange your desired containers on a large cookie sheet or board that will fit into your refrigerator so you can easily transport them after pouring.

   It is time to pour your jello shots mixture into the desired containers, I recommend using a large glass Pyrex measuring cup or something with a spout making it easier to pour your jell-o shot mixture, I use little solo containers with lids because they are easy to transport and distribute once the jell-o shots are ready.

   Once you have poured the jello shot mixture into the desired containers and sealed the lids if you have them carefully transport your jello shots to the refrigerator.

10. Let your jello shots set overnight, they will be ready sooner but I recommend leaving them set overnight at least.

11. Prepare for distribution, you will want to nominate 2 shot girls or guys to distribute your jello shots, they will each need an apron or tie around the waste pouch or bag to carry the jello shots in and a can of reddi whip.

    The shot girl or guy will open the solo container for the party-goer, add a shot of whip cream and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• How to make jello shots is pretty simple if you forget you can always just use the standard jello recipe and substitute some of the cold water with alcohol
• Some people spray a very light mist of pam or cooking spray over the desired containers so that the jello shots do not stick.
• Have your refrigerator cleared out so you have room to put your jello shots.
• Jello shots can be very tasty but can also be dangerous for even the "pro" drinker, they taste good and you don't realize how much alcohol you are consuming, it may take a little longer to hit you due to the jello substance verses a liquid state of the alcohol
• consume the jello shots with care and never ever drink and drive, always designate a sober driver.
• Never place jello shots anywhere children can reach them or even see them, they look fruity and tasty and children may not know they contain alcohol, I recommend someone with no children to make and store the jello shots.
• Just be smart.
