Well I use dry gin. A cup of gin to a cup boiling water. Grape jello is really good. Have fun but be careful.

For a better taste, use a fruit juice instead of water. Makes it even more flavourful.

Can you use Smirnoff in this recipe?

The best flavor I have tried is to use watermelon jello and Southern Comfort (alcohol). Tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher! Enjoy!!!

We like pina colada jello shots. I use two small boxes of pineapple jello, small size can of coco lopez cream of coconut, small can of crushed pinapple in light syrup, bacardi rum. You use the "jigglers" recipe ...but with this version, use just enough hot water to dissolve the jello. The coconut & pineapple replace some of the liquid. You can make them as strong as you like, but I find 1 cup of rum is plenty. I also make a strawberry margarita version with "wild strawberry" jello and white tequila. I buy the cups and lids from a restaurant supply store, but the folks at Captain D's fastfood seafood have sold me sleeves of each before, for a couple of bucks. (They put lemon wedges in them for carry-out meals.)

Has anyone ever made pudding shots? Looking for a recipe.

Bonnie, Pudding Shots are great. Here's mine: Jacqui's Pudding Shots

Thanks Jacqui, that sounded really good had 2 check it out 4 the New Year... U were right... still feeling it!

Thank you very much Jacqui for the recipe. My nieces husband was the jello shot and pudding shot maker for all our parties. I have been looking for a recipe for pudding shots since his death to carry on the tradition in his memory.

Jacqui - the pudding shots sounds awesome. Do they not curdle with the milk?

In regards to pudding shots, use small boxes of instant pudding with half milk and half alcohol. Now for combinations: butterscotch pudding with butterscotch schnapps, cheesecake pudding with tequila rose, white chocolate pudding with white chocolate liqueur.. Now you get the idea, let your imagination go!

We always use flavored liquor to complement whatever jello flavor we are using. Our favorites are Peach Schnaps and Orange Jello and Malibu Rum with Pineapple jello.

Try orange jello with Amaretto!!! Or Southern Comfort with lime jello!

I had some wine that was a lot dryer than we liked so used it as the booze in Jello shots. Red wine and raspberry jello was great. Also Amaretto and cherry Jello are a wonderful combination.

I agree that if you plan on people consuming more than a couple, you should lessen the amount of alcohol in each shot, or even make a good portion without alcohol at all.

Combinations I enjoy:

- Black Cherry or Raspberry Jello w/ Vanilla Vodka or Vanilla Rum.
- Lime Jello w/ Tequila. Place a gummy worm in each shot.
- Anything w/ Watermelon Jello (it is very tasty & smooth).

Green jello shots are my favorite!!!

Just remembered another one!

-Strawberry Jello w/ 99 Bananas

I'm the jello shot maker for all parties my friends have. I've done soco (southern comfort) lime jello shots, gin & juice jello shots & mojito jello shots. You just have to be creative. If I want them strong, I use just enough water to dissolve the jello and the rest vodka, I've done everclear once but vodka is better.

I want to make margarita jello shots and have the premix margarita drink w/ the tequila already in it. Is this possible?

I, too, am the jello shot maker for our parties! I've tried all the different kinds of cups and found the PAPER ones are the best because you can squish them. Plastic ones are too hard to get all the good stuff out!! Party or restaurant supply stores always have them.
