Ingredients
  • 1 package of Jello (not the sugar free kind)
  • Water
  • Liquor
Directions
  • Boil 1 cup of water in a large pot.
  • When water is boiling, pour in 1 package of Jello.
  • Stir for AT LEAST 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  • Stir in one cup cold liquor
  • Pour into shot-sized cups.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
Feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple this recipe. Just follow the directions on the back of the Jello box, replacing the cold water with liquor.

Now, on with the flavorful combinations!

Lime Jell-O: Absolut Citron – Crisp and lively citrus flavor.
Tequila – Plain tequila and lime is the quick and dirty way to make a “margarita” shot.

Cherry Jell-O: Amaretto – An excellent combination, tastes like the syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries. Can be overly sweet if you add too much.
Peach schnapps – Mild but flavorful, tastes like candy.
Cr̬me de cacao РThis creates a chocolate/cherry flavor with more complexity than average. Too much of the liqueur tastes bitter.

Orange Jell-O: Peach Schnapps – Use for a Fuzzy Navel effect. Sweet and mellow flavor.
Tequila – Tangy and spicy, the orange really smooths out the tequila.
Captain Morgan’s - Sweet and spicy, would be good for the holidays.
Amaretto – Tastes like a creamsicle or Orange Julius.
Malibu – Very smooth, pleasant coconut aftertaste.
Southern Comfort – Sweet with a bit more alcoholic bite and edge than schnapps.

Lemon Jell-O: Absolut Citron – Tart and clean, like a lemondrop but not as sweet.

Watermelon Jell-O: Sour Apple Schnapps – Fantastic flavor, tastes exactly like a Jolly Rancher candy.
Tequila – Complex, tangy flavor, has a bite to it.
Midori – Sweet, more of a generic melon flavor.

Strawberry Jell-O: Peach Schnapps – Sweet and candylike.
White rum – The quick and dirty strawberry daiquiri.
Tequila – Peppery, tangy, not overly sweet.
Sour Apple Schnapps – The schnapps enhances the berry flavor for a sweet/tart effect.
Midori – Fruity, tastes a bit like bubblegum.
