making jello shot

6 ounces of spirits
 

6 ounces water
 

3 ounces Jello (small box, any flavor)
 

3 ounce Dixie PAPER Cups

 

Pour the water and vodka into a saucepan and raise it to a boil.
 

Stir in the jello and make sure it totally dissolves.
 

Put the jello liquid into a pitcher for easier pouring.
 

You'll need to pour the jello into the small Dixie cups.
 

If you let the jello sit in the refrigerator in one big bowl then the vodka will separate and you'll have some crappy shooters. (Use the little cups!)

Let them chill in the refrigerator for about 5-6 hours

Use paper cups, you can tear them open to get the Jello

Watch the Jello liquid carefully, it boils over fast

Make sure you have lots of space in the refrigerator

Allow plenty of time, it takes awhile

Speed things up by doubling quantities: 12 oz vodka, 12 oz water, 2 small boxes of Jello (or 1 large box)

To give you an idea of quantities, this is how much we used:

20 small Jello boxes (3 ounces/each)

2 handles of vodka (half gallon/each)

400 Dixie Paper Cups (3 ounce size)

 

6 small Jello boxes (3 ounces/each)

1 liter of vodka

84 Dixie Paper Cups (3 ounce size)
