How to Make Jello Shots
Making a Jello shot is like making regular Jello but instead of adding water, alcohol is the major fluid added instead. The mixture is then poured into glass or plastic shot glasses or tiny cups instead of using big bowls.
For a basic selection of jello shots a simple jello shot recipe has been drawn up for you to make at home. The recipe is as follows:
1 – 6 ounce package of gelatine any flavour of your choice
16 fl ounces or boiling water
6 fl ounces cold water
10 fl ounces 80-proof Alcohol – 40%(ABV) or higher
Grab yourself a mixing bowl and add the gelatine powder together with the boiling water. Let the jello mix sit for approximately one minute to fully dissolve the gelatine. Stir for another minute to get the mix well circulated then let the gelatine cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in cold water and alcohol.
Place the shot glasses, jello moulds or cups and place onto a tray in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
