The Ultimate Jell-O Shooter Shooter

It's more than just mixing booze and Jell-O. A lot is in the small technical details and of course the presentation.

Step 1 Background

Let's talk Jell-O-O shooters. Some people think that it is just mixing booze into the Jell-O mix. There is a lot more to be for sure.

First, forget any shooters a bar would sell. They are practically booze-free. They are simply not served fresh enough. Time will allow the booze to evaporate. Any open face container will also accelerate evaporation. Ever had a Jell-O-O shooter that just tasted too much Jell-O and not enough shooter? Now you know why. You probably overpaid as well.

A Jell-O shooter must by its very nature be home made and made from real Jell-O. 'Nuff said.


(this picture demonstrates the mistake that many amateurs make - never Jell-O before water)

The pictures look like you're doing the shots out side the E.R.

"Guys, have a woman help with the clean up part, let's not spoil a good thing and let them know we can do that ourselves."

Best advice EVER! Ought to go into a repository of memorable quotes.

love the presentation. I'll be keeping my eyes out for some syringes.

[Mechanical Advantage]

Looks like fun. The syringes would make great props for Halloween - especially if you dressed up as a doctor! The only downside would be making them in mass quantities. When I make Jell-O shots for our parties, I like to make enough for 30-50 people to each have four or five. That's a couple hundred syringes, and at two bucks a pop that's a lot of cash. I like to use those little plastic condiment cups with lids. No evaporation, and you can stack them easily in the fridge or toss them in a cooler (when they are set). But in small batches, these would certainly make a fun treat!

[Phoghat]

Where do you buy the condiment cups?

[LooseMoose]

I like the fact that the alcohol doesn't evaporate so you can make them well in advance. Hey AP, how bout orange jello and peach shnaps?

[arcticpenguin]

Not too far, maybe for 2 reasons. First you don't want the Jello to get thick (I'm not sure it would) but most importantly there may not be any left by the time you want them;-) I see no real reason many mixed uncarbonated drinks shouldn't work.

[LooseMoose]

So saturday then? I'll supply the shnaps!

As a consumer of these "to die for shooters" I can vouch for their tastiness, and the ultimate kick they give. So articpenguin, when's the next Jell-O night?

[arcticpenguin]

Seems I just have to whip up a double order next time. Maybe with big guys help we can work on a Maple Syrup Jell-O shooter?? Hmmm?

[shortnsweet66]

Now wouldn't that be an interesting concoction. We'll definitely have to work on that one.
