  • 1 cup favorite tequila


ORANGE JULIUS

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 small box pineapple Jell-O

  • 1 small box orange Jell-O

  • 1 envelope Knox gelatin

  • 1 cup cream of coconut, chilled

  • 1 cup Malibu rum


SCRAWBERRY FIELDS

DEVIL'S TIT

  • 2 small boxes cherry Jell-O

Margarita Jell-O Shots

  • 1/4 cup Rose's Lime Juice
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 small boxes lime Jell-O
  • 1/2 envelope Knox gelatin
  • 3/4 cup Tequila
  • 1/4 cup triple sec

Put the tequila and triple sec in the freezer, so they are well chilled when you add them. Boil the lime juices and water. Mix the Knox with the Jell-O, and then slowly stir into the boiling juices. Allow to cool to room temperature. Add the tequila and triple sec. Chill for at least 3 hours

PINA COLADA JELL-O SHOTS

Slowly pour the gelatin mix into boiling water while stirring. When all the gelatin is dissolved, mix in the cream of coconut. Allow the entire mixture to cool 20-40 minutes, to room temperature. Add the Malibu rum. Yum :0)

JELL-O SHOT TIPS   from the pros @ mrjelloshots.com

  • Before filling your Jell-O shot cups with the good stuff, spray them lightly with an unflavored non-stick cooking spray.  The shots will slide out easily when they're chilled.
  • Never add alcohol to hot Jell-O it evaporates away. Always allow your Jell-o to cool to room temperature first.
  • Dry mix all your Jell-O and Knox Gelatin in a bowl before starting each recipe.
  • If you use a Pyrex mixing bowl, you can easily see that all of the gelatin, including what's on the bottom, has dissolved.
  • If you put the Jello in the freezer to cool it prior to molding, place a hotpad underneath. Otherwise, the bowl's contact with the floor of your freezer will chill the bottom of the bowl quicker than the rest. You'll end up with solidified Jello at the bottom of the bowl while the rest is still liquid. Also, if you leave it in the freezer for 30 minutes, it'll be too late to add the alcohol, and you'll be stuck with a rubbery mess that resembles Jello-flavored latex.  Be very careful never to allow Jello to freeze.
  • Want to speed up the cooling process?  Keep the pan and the alcohol in the freezer until you're ready to use them.
  • Be sure to clean up spills quickly. No matter how careful you are, there will be spills. Clean them up quickly, because liquid Jell-O is much easier to wipe up than Jello that has solidified to a countertop, a floor, your cat, etc.
