Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. Add 1 cup of water to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. When boiling, carefully pour water into a glass bowl.

2. Add 1 package of jello to the boiling water and stir with a spoon. Make sure that all of the jello has dissolved. One of the best flavors to use for jello shots is strawberry-banana jello.

3. Add 1 cup of vodka to the dissolved jello mix and stir again making sure it is mixed well and all jello from the bottom of the bowl is dissolved.
