RECIPE OF THE DAY - ADULTS ONLY - JELLO SHOTS

CURRENT MOOD: Wishing she had some Jell-O Shots...



My friends and family *LOVE* Jell-O Shots and I have perfected my Jell-O Shot recipe and will pass it along to you to! With this recipe, you can barely tell that they are made with any alcohol but believe me... there is, and you will feel it in no time! I personally like to switch out the 1/2 of cold water for some fruit juice or energy drink depending on the party! Just make sure you stick with the correct amounts according to below or the box you are using, otherwise it may not turn out. Let's get started!

WHAT YOU NEED

1 -  3oz Box of  Jell-O Mix
1 Cup  - Boiling Water
1/2 Cup - Vodka
1/2 Cup - Cold Water

1 Large Glass Pyrex Measuring Cup
1 Mixing Spoon 
1 Metal Cookie Tray
30 PLASTIC Shot Glasses
Kettle

DIRECTIONS

Step 1.) Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in the kettle, once it comes to a full boil pour the water into your large Pyrex measuring cup and add the Jell-O powder, mix for 1 minute or until all the powder has fully merged with the water; there should not be any crystals left.

Step 2.) Pour in the 1/2 cup of Vodka and 1/2 cup of cold water into the Pyrex measuring cup, mix thoroughly for about 1 minute. The Jell-O Shot mix should now be ready to pour.

Step 3.) On your metal cookie tray begin lining up your shot glasses once all of the glasses are on the tray begin pouring your Jell-O Shot mix into them - leaving a small gap at the top. Refrigerate according to the directions on the box, this normally takes 2 - 3 hours, and enjoy!

HELPFUL HINTS

• Sometimes Jell-O can be hard to get out of shot glasses so I personally will mist a little cooking spray over all the glasses before I pour the mix.
• Put plastic wrap over top of the entire cookie sheet and filled shot glasses and lightly run your hand over top, this will create a seal on the shot glasses and make them more steady as your transport them! (Plus keep out any odors from your fridge! No one wants a Jell-O Shot that tastes like an onion! EW!)
• Once they have set completely in the fridge try transferring them to a serving platter, that goes with your party theme! Perfect Halloween Party Jell-O flavors are Grape, Lime, and Orange!
• Shake the plastic cup back and fourth to help release the Jell-O from the sides and make it easily fall out!  
• AVOID using paper or wax lined cups for Jell-O Shots; for some reason the mixture will soak through even the wax lined ones and will make for a very big mess!
