I used tequila once and the jello shots were really good. We also used gin, but all you could taste was the juniper no matter what flavor of jello it was. Vodka works best, but tequila was yummy!

Another suggestion for cups...ice cube trays work really well or the real small plastic dixie cups work good too.

You can find the cups @ Party City.

Quick fix for hot water, use a coffee maker and just run water through it a few times so the water doesn't taste like coffee, you get hot water in a jiffy and can mix everything right in the coffee pot for easy pouring! Voila! The perfect container for making any kind of jello shots!

Buy your cups at a pharmacy. They use them in hospitals to give meds in.

I use lime vodka and lime jello they work great together!

the one about everclear is very true and yes it does make the shots go farther

If you know someone who works in a hospital and they can get syringes (of course without the needles), make you Jello Shots in these, no mess and they shoot right into your mouth... Easy to travel with to, just put them in a Ziploc and you are on your way.

I usually always use coconut rum with blue raspberry or cherry jello also watermelon jello with watermelon schnapps was a big hit. I buy 1 and a half ounce paper cups the shots come out better .I buy them at a local paper supply store

You can also use green melon fusion jello with midori

pineapple jello and amaretto is so good!

The place to purchase your "shot cups" would be a industrial restaurant supply store. The "cups" are called souffle cups, they come in 1oz., 2oz., 3oz, and so forth with lids.

i like to use hot damn in my jello shots they r pretty good .

You can go to Spec's Liquor Store for the cups!!! They have everything!!!

I just use the papar candy cups - about 1-inch in diameter. There so much easier to eat - u just squeeze. One important thing u have to let the jello cool slightly before pouring them in.
