I didn't know if this was "appropriate" for the recipes section, so I'm gonna try it here first....

I'm going camping with a bunch of friends and I was elected to bring :eek: JELLO SHOTS :eek: for the weekend and I haven't made them since college.

Can anyone help me with your favorite combos???

thanks!
:angel:
 
I have not made them in years either. I do not have a recipe, but when I googled it, there are a ton. Here is one I found.

1 6-ounce package of gelatin (flavored or unflavored -- you decide)
16 ounces (2 cups) boiling water
6 ounces cold water
10 ounces 80-proof Alcohol (see tip for other proof liquors)

Assemble ingredients listed in the "Things You'll Need" section below.
In a bowl, mix boiling water with the powdered gelatin until fully dissolved. Give it at least a minute to fully activate the gelatin.
Let gelatin cool for five or ten minutes to reduce alcohol vapor loss.
Stir in cold water and alcohol.

A tray of jello shots prior to refrigeration.Pour resulting mixture into shot glasses or plastic cups.

When I was a consultant I had a college-aged customer buy the Floral Cupcake pan for Jello Shots. Those musta big some gigantic shots!! LOL :eek: :D

My girlfriend is the queen of jello shots. She said the secret to keeping them firm is adding knox gelatin to them. We had malibu rum ones this weekend at a work picnic. YUMMY!!:love:

I was thinking peach schnapps with orange jello.....yeah, I know - kinda tame.

I like the everclear and green apple, that sounds yummy.

Are you willing to share??

Those sound awesome.:love:
 
We always did plain vodka and different flavors for the jello.... and you can get he small cups in restaurant supply stores!
 
Pudding shots:
1 lg pkg choc. instant pudding
1 cup milk
1/2 cup baileys
1/2 cup vodka
1 cup cool whip

mix in the pudding and wet ingredients then add cool whip when it starts to thicken. Put in cups and store in freezer for 30 mins to an hour. good for all night.

If you make these let me know what you think...
 
OMG! Those pudding shots sound wonderful!
You could probably use Godiva liqueur in them, too. mmmm.....
 
I always do the classic cranberry jello & vodka.

Could use about six of those right about now!!!!!!

OMG......I KNOW I'm gonna love them, 'cause they have Bailey's in 'em. Yum, I may have to make these before my camping trip, just to make sure they're ok. ;)

Thanks for this recipe!!!!
 
They have some tropical flavored ones that would be good with malibu or parrot bay...

and you can't go wrong with a classic vodka/any flavor of jello combination... always good ;)

I just realized that one of the women coming is a recovering alcoholic.... Is there a non-alcoholic replacement for the Bailey's?? I don't want her to miss out on these!!:balloon:
 
How about mint extract or mint leaves instead of Bailey's?
