I dont know about Everclear but one should always be mindful about guests maybe being on medication that could cause liquor to be amplified.

I like to put some plain gelatin in them to make them a little firmer, man are they great!

My sister uses a flavored schnapps that compliments the jello flavor, which tastes a lot better than vodka or gin, which are way too strong. I won't eat any other jello shots.

I have made jello shots for the last couple of years for our river trips. I always use Coconut Rum with watermelon or Pineapple Jello. It's easy and they taste really good.

Hey best way to make jello shots is to use the McDonalds ketchup cups! They slide out nice. Try it!

I work at a grocery store, and we use the cups for our demo's. I have sold them to people before...I am sure any grocery store that does demos, would most likely sell them to you for a lot cheaper than what you would pay for them at a party shop....ask the deli or bakery depts.

I have found that the best containers are the ketchup cups at McDonalds and Burger King They make great containers for jello shots and you just squeeze the jello in your mouth!!

Go online for Jello shot cups under "souffle cups". These are pleated paper cups that make getting to the Jello easier than the hard plastic cups. They come in varying sizes from .50 oz all the way up. Unfortunately, you will probably get stuck having to buy them in amounts of 5000 cups if you want to get a good price. Sounds like a lot, but they go pretty quick if you throw a lot of parties. I personally use the 1/2 (.50) oz size as they are not a big mouthful and go down nice. This way, I can offer a bigger variety of flavors to my guests, and even if they don't like a particular one, the smaller gulp goes over well.

I use the paper ketchup holders from McDonalds, they work awesome and don't cost me anything..I collect them all winter and by the summertime I have a whole bunch...

The best type of cups to use is the white paper ones that are ketchup cups at fast food places. Then you can just squeeze them out from the bottom and they pop out! The WORST ones I made were cherry jello & GIN, not good! Best were peach schnapps and orange jello or lime vodka & lemon jello. Everclear, no way, too strong!!!

I use Bacardi rum, 1 cup per box. It gets the job done.

Jello shots.... IF your gonna take that many jello shots.. then just have a drink. :D

When we make our jello (shots) we do not use the little individual cups. We pour our jello mixture into a cake pan and cut them into little squares. They are so much easier to enjoy and we call them jello jigglers. Plus you don't have to run and buy little plastic cups which are not exactly environmentally smart.

Jello Shots are amazing esspecially with high proof liquor in them. Be careful of the how much everclear you put into them but everclear is great. Oh and to answer the one comment Everclear is a rice liquor that has a 190 proof rating so be careful. I was a marine and drank it all the time. Its a great alcohol, just be careful.

Ya I use Cherry Vodka w/ Cherry Jello & usually cherry koolaid or fruit juice/punch instead of the water part! Any variation is prob delicious too but mine are THE BEST!!!!

Blue rasberry jello with blues berry schnapps is a killer shot.

I use Bacardi 151 Rum in all my jello shots, and use the watermelon jello with the watermelon pucker schnapps, grape jello with grape pucker scnapps, etc. We also use the bathroom plastic cups, works for us. And they are so yummy!

Trying using Amaretto w/ cherry. It will be a big hit!

No good ever comes from doing shots.

Try cucumber lime vodka with lime jello.
