Jell-o Shooters
What would a tailgate party be without shooters ? Simple to make and popular at parties
these are fun treats to serve at a party. They are potent, so you need to watch consumption,
especially if you are serving other drinks. They don't taste like alcohol so great care needs
to be taken when making these around children.... they have been known to eat them. I rarely
use brand names in my recipes but the results using jell-o brand gelatin are superior to those
made with other brands of flavored gelatin.
6 oz. Package jell-o
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (1 envelope)
2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cup vodka
2/3 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon fruit or vanilla extract* (optional)
Mix together the jell-o and gelatin in a medium bowl. Add the boiling water and stir well until
gelatin is dissolved. Add the vodka, cold water and extract then mix well. Pour into a 9 in. Square
pan or into small plastic individual containers. Chill for 2 to 3 hrs. For 9 in. pan cut into squars
and serve.
* the extract is optional, but really does give a little bit of a boost to the flavor. Which to be honest
you only notice in the first 1 or 2.....after that you don't notice much of anything. Pair your extract
with your jell-o flavoring. Vanilla and almond work well with almost any flavor.
