make Jello... then add liquor to the consumer?

or alternatively... soak the tangerine wedges in Everclear, then add them to the regular Jello...

If you go to IParty or BJ's you can get condiment cups... preferably with lids for travel purposes. Make jello as instructed using the 1 cup boiling water only substitute the approriate alcohol for the flavor you are using for the "1 cup cold water" This makes really strong jello shots though... if you want them a little less toxic use less alcohol and more water.

Once mixed pour them into the cups. Chill to set. Consume

I haven't made them either, Christina, but I *think* I recall LPH and IH and Wayne telling me that you just substitute the alcohol of your choice for the water. Lord knows there are plenty of folks here who make them so you should get an answer pretty quickly.

Watermelon are my fave, but the pineapple jello with the coconut rum were a very close second.

I swear Lynn and Jen to the left told me they didn't use any water but that could just be my interpretation after consuming several of above mentioned jello shots...

But if you have to have the boiling water to dissolve the jello powder then the rest of the liquid was alcohol.

just remember that alcohol boils at a lower temp than water...

I wonder where they came up with that concept.. it's almost like they know people use their product for more than a means of filling up on whipped cream and canned fruit...

I've been "testing" Jell-O shot recipes in my laboratory for the last 2 weekends in preparation for my first Buffett show on the 20th.
Last Saturday I made a batch that we liked a lot and finished off all but two. Come Sunday I went to the frig for the last two and they were gone. As a little background it's just my love, me, 2 cats, 2 parrots and my 84 year old, Tea-totaling, mother-in law that had a fall last year and is living with us now. Anyway, I asked my love if she had eaten them and before she could respond her Mom yelled from the other room that she had one and it was so good she had the second. She had no idea that it had rum in it but was in a Great mood for the rest of the day. It was pretty amuming but you probably had to be here. We've since implemented some Jello security policies.

So, I guess I'm doing something right on a couple of levels.
Working on a layered lemon/lime with tequilla this weekend.
Replace the second cup of water with liquor and you'll be all set.

Yes, I use boilng water in the prescribed amount, then depending on the type of alcohol used, may or may not add cold water. Tequila - about 1/2 tequila, 1/2 water, coconut rum - just rum

Ummmm, tropical jello shots, ummmmm. (now see what you did!)

so does this explain you driving around in your car naked with Buffett cranked and the windows down?

Where normal jello calls for one part boiling water, then one part cold water; I substitute the cold water for alcohol. That way they aren't too strong and they still gel nicely.

room temp alcohol, or do you put the bottle in the freezer the night before to make it more prone to jellification?

Most of my liquor stays in the freezer anyway. If you normally keep it out of the freezer, just add some ice cubes.

Its all about what you like and what kind of jello you are making.

Lemon or Lime jello would probably be better with Vodka (or even tequila).
Watermelon or Strawberry would be good with rum.

If you don't drink it, don't cook with it.

Why can't you make them with beer?!?!?
