Party City, Maines or any other party supply store has the plastic cups, both with and without covers. Of course, without is much, much cheaper so if you want to save money just put all the shots on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap until you serve them.

I uses 20 cc syringes (new of course, you can wash these and reuse after the shots) (again new). They're FUN at parties. Be careful the 1st year I made Jello shots I was put to bed. My friend made Everclear and she was sick for days. They were so strong, no one enjoyed them except her. I have made with Rum, Tequila, Vodka you clear Liquors. Have fun and Happy New Year!

Putting the jello shots in the freezer for an hour helps them set much much faster.

Do not use Everclear. It is pure grain alcohol. Do not use anything that is over 90 proof or it won't set. Add 3/4 cup hot water and 1 1/4 cup alcohol for the best shots. They will set just fine and it will feel really awesome as soon as it hits your throat. Use in moderation as with any other mixed drink

 Brown randy (Pennsylvania) says:

 Josh (Minnesota) says:
People Everclear is moonshine that's all, its not a manslaughter case waiting to happen or a man/women killer. And its awesome in jello shots. Obviously if your an irresponsible adult who overdoes it it'll mess you up but if that's the case you shouldn't be on here anyways right? Use caution and announce that its in there and I promise people will love them.

I can't believe the comments about "Everclear" what a bunch of sissies. "Everclear" is Grain Alcohol and not available in some states. it is 190 proof. And the only alcohol I consume. It's not as bad as everyone is going on about. You need to be responsible about it, But that is true of all booze.. The difference between Everclear and Vodka is you'd have to drink 10 bottles of vodka to equal 1 bottle of everclear.. So for me it's about cost. one bottle of Everclear can last months and I don't have to drink much to have a good time..And it mixes really good in Lemonade..

 Scott (Virginia) says:
Everclear is grain alcohol. It is 95% alcohol which makes it 190 proof. In 1979 it was listed as "the worlds most alcoholic drink."

 Heather (Georgia) says:
I work in a bar and jello comes in two size boxes, the best way to remember the sizes is one is small one is larger, for every two SMALL boxes we use 16 oz water 16 oz vodka and we use the 2oz cups, with the big boxes we use the same measurement 16oz water & 16oz vodka. With 2 oz cups we usually make about 32 jello shots a batch making them 1oz shots which is only about .25 ounces shorter than what you get of a straight shot of liquor. From my experience you can use any liquor you want but you don't want to make them too strong because they become nasty and overbearing, with the measurements i have given you can taste the alcohol but it's not overbearing. Not sure about the freezing, you would definitely have to watch them, we just stick ours in the fridge.
