Instructions

The instructions for all of the above recipes are the same.

1. Pour the alcohol (or mixture of two alcohols) into a shaker glass with ice.
2. Pour the jello powder into an empty pitcher and add the boiling water. Stir until the powder has completely dissolved.
3. Pour the chilled alcohol—ice and all—into the pitcher. Stir until all of the ice has melted and the mixture comes down to room temperature.
4. Pour the mixture into jello shot cups, or suck up that jello goodness with jello shot syringes.
5. Transfer the jello shots or jello syringes to the fridge. Let them chill for approximately 2 hours before enjoying.

Yield: 16 jello shots (1 ounce per serving)
