How to Make Jello Shots

Making a good Jello shot is a exactly like making regular Jello but instead of making it with water, alcohol is the major contributor added instead. The Jello Shots

mixture is then syphoned into any kind of shot glasses, (plastic shot glasses or tiny cups) this is instead of using hugh bowls which just get in the way.

A Jello Shot Making Guide

For a quick and easy selection of exquisite jello shots, a simple and easy to follow jello shot recipe has been produced for you to put together for your next party or get together, be it at home or for your bar, restaurant or night club. The recipe is as follows: 1 6 ounce package of gelatine - any flavour of your choice 16 fl ounces or boiling water 6 fl ounces cold water 10 fl ounces 80-proof Alcohol - 40%(ABV) or higher.

Things You Will Need

You will need a decent sized mixing bowl, then add the jello powdered mix together with the boiling water. Let the jello mix sit for around 1 minute or so to let it fully dissolve the gelatine. After this short waiting time has passed stir for another 2 minutes, this will enable the mix to circulate, now once this has been done let the liquid jello cool for approximately 8 - 11 minutes.

The next step once the Jello Shots

mixture has sufficently cooled is to mix in cold water and add the all important alcohol (in the proper ratios). find a tray or something to put the jello shots on and make room in the fridge, pour the melted jello mix into the little paper or plastic cups or shot glasses and place the jello shots on the tray, now place the tray in the chiller for between 3 - 4 hours to ensure the jello shot sets evenly.

Tips on How to Get the Best Results

Depending on the percentage of the alcohol used(how strong it is), you might have to adjust the ratio of alcohol to cold water to ensure the jello shots set to exacting standards. Use the following ratios to attain perfect Jello Shots

:

13 ounces of 30-50 proof alcohol - 20/30% abv - to 3 ounces cold water 10 ounces 80-100 proof alcohol - 40/45% abv - to 6 ounces cold water 6 ounces 150-200 proof alcohol - 75/100% abv- to 10 ounces cold water. If you would like to make more "potent" jello shots, you can amend the recipe a bit. This variation makes up to 6 large cups with 2oz (2x"shots") of alcohol in each, or 12 small cups with 1oz of alcohol in each, What ever size the of shot you go for it still sets hard and tastes great.
