The cups can be found at just about any restaurant supply store and most liquor stores. I found the 2 oz. cups to be a bit big for my taste, but that's just me. We used Watermelon vodka w/Raspberry jello, was the favorite at this past New Year's Party!

And for Susan in Cali...girl gotta learn how to use your tongue! LOL Happy and Safe New Year all!

Everclear works well, vodka works well. In reality, it is whatever alcohol YOU choose. You self righteous people need not be preaching about how everclear is a manslaughter case waiting to happen. That's BS, any alcohol is that. As a host you can only advise a person about what they are about to consume, you cannot be 100% responsible for them. If they want the alcohol, they will find a way to get it.

I really enjoy midori jello shots. A box of lime jello 2 cups boiling water and then sub 1 cup midori with 1/2 cup vodka and 1/2 sweet and sour for the cold water. Tastes just like a midori sour and I pour them in the 1 oz. plastic containers that I find at smart n final and I get about 45 shots. Enjoy!

Another great way to make with ANY flavor shot is to add Li Hing Mui powder to the bottom of the cup before pouring shooter in! Not sure if the States carry them but you can order online!

When I lived in Ohio, we went to Kentucky for Everclear. It's not as bad as people on here are portraying ... as long as you're smart about it.

I make jello shots for every party/get together I go to. They are highly requested and expected. You can make any flavor of jello shots that you want. The alcohol/liquor needs to compliment the jello. For example, you wouldn't use Malibu in grape. I do however use Malibu in Pina Colada shots (most popular), Jose Cuervo in Margarita shots, etc... Just think as a Bartender making mixed drinks. There are so many flavors of Jello and liquor that the possibilities are endless!!!

Everclear is vodka, just stonger than most.

I followed this recipe to the letter. Now I have a big problem, when I take them out of the freezer to put them in the fridge they are "melting". They have become a soft gooey liquid & the vodka has separated from the mixture. This only happened in the flat tray i am using to custom cut shots. What did I do wrong?

lime jello with tequilla for the win.

I use the UV Blue vodka with my jello shots and it tastes delicious!

Everclear is a grain alcohol with essentially no taste. It can be lethal in large quantities and should never be taken straight. It is a great alcohol to use for times when you are making big, pre-mixed batches of cocktails such as homemade Kahlua or jungle juice. Not one to be used on a drink by drink basis, but perfectly fine in big batches. At $15 a bottle and it makes 10 gallons of cocktail, its the only way to go.

wat bout devil springs vodka

I am one to believe that tanguray is one of the better gins. Tangpur is best to use with lime jello because of it's lime after taste.

My friend came up with an awesome idea for Jello shots. After making your favorite recipe, use oral syriges and suck the liquid into it. Freeze like you would with any recipe. This is a very low mess an cool idea.

Best jello shots I''ve ever had, cherry or strawberry jello , vodka, topped with whipped creme, and a maraschino cherry soaked in vodka (half a day) on top.....just like going to the DQ but for adults.:)
