I was searing for drink options for an up comming party... Jello shos it think it will be.
We are going to choose 4 or 5 diffent ones & do those with some merinated fruit....
From doing searches here on crafster & on line here are some of my favs so far....
http://megan.scatterbrain.org/notmartha/tomake/jellofruit.html make jello in citrus fruit peels, faux fruit.
From
batgirl: I have started making it with tea in place of water. Today I made orange jello with hibiscus tea, and it was pretty tasty! I may try Earl Grey with lemon jello next! This is probably not the next culinary revolution, but I am looking forward to trying out new combinations! OK, it's not ice cream, but it's a nice, cool summer treat!
From
imdee: I've heard of making jello with juice, but not tea. I have some spiced tea that might be good in jello.
From:
SammyB Reminds me of making Jell-o shots in ice cube trays with lime Jell-o and Seagram's Lime Twist Gin. Actually was pretty good. I recommed it. Grapefruit Twist Gin with anything is REALLY bad, though.
From this site:
http://www.myscienceproject.org/j-shot-3.html Lime Jell-O:
Absolut Citron – Crisp and lively citrus flavor.
Tequila – Plain tequila and lime is the quick and dirty way to make a “margarita” shot.
Cherry Jell-O:
Amaretto – An excellent combination, tastes like the syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries. Can be overly sweet if you add too much.
Peach schnapps – Mild but flavorful, tastes like candy.
Crème de cacao – This creates a chocolate/cherry flavor with more complexity than average. Too much of the liqueur tastes bitter.
Orange Jell-O:
Peach Schnapps – Use for a Fuzzy Navel effect. Sweet and mellow flavor.
Tequila – Tangy and spicy, the orange really smooths out the tequila.
Captain Morgan’s - Sweet and spicy, would be good for the holidays.
Amaretto – Tastes like a creamsicle or Orange Julius.
Malibu – Very smooth, pleasant coconut aftertaste.
Southern Comfort – Sweet with a bit more alcoholic bite and edge than schnapps.
Lemon Jell-O:
Absolut Citron – Tart and clean, like a lemondrop but not as sweet.
Watermelon Jell-O:
Sour Apple Schnapps – Fantastic flavor, tastes exactly like a Jolly Rancher candy.
Tequila – Complex, tangy flavor, has a bite to it.
Midori – Sweet, more of a generic melon flavor.
Strawberry Jell-O:
Peach Schnapps – Sweet and candylike.
White rum – The quick and dirty strawberry daiquiri.
Tequila – Peppery, tangy, not overly sweet.
Sour Apple Schnapps – The schnapps enhances the berry flavor for a sweet/tart effect.
Midori – Fruity, tastes a bit like bubblegum.
Peach Jell-O:
Malibu – Very smooth, alcohol flavor almost unnoticeable.
Captain Morgan’s – Tastes like peach pie, a little spicy.
Southern Comfort – Sweet, with a mild bourbon flavor.
Peach Schnapps – Very, very sweet and very peachy.
Sour Apple Schnapps – Tastes like Sweetarts.
Raspberry Jell-O:
Peach Schnapps – Fruity, sweet, tastes like red Twizzlers.
Midori – Very sweet, fruity, tastes like bubble gum.
Berry Blue Jell-O:
Honestly, we couldn’t find anything that tasted good with the blue Jell-O. Maybe because it’s a terrible flavor to begin with. Absolut Kurant might work. One reader suggested “99 Berries” liqueur.
A couple of readers suggested pineapple Jell-O and Malibu, for a pina colada effect, but we were unable to find pineapple Jell-O
ming: my husband and i have made sapphire gin and tonic jello shots on limes. basically buy regular gelatin, melt it down with the mixture of gin and tonic water, and refrigerate it until it's ready. then we cut them into squares and placed them on sliced limes. they're a kind of "sophisticated" take on jello shots. big hit at the party though
girly pirate: i've made jello shooters with fresh strawberries in them and a little lime juice with tequila. doing them out of frozen sugar-rimmed glasses was like the ultimate margarita. so good.
dogswife: My daughter and I just made about 300 jello shooters for karaoke night at her bar. They are really easy to do. We used 2 small packages of watermelon jello and 2 cups watermelon pucker up booze for each recipe. You boil 2 cups of water and dissolve the jello and then mix in the booze and pour into 1oz cups. You get about 50 of the 1oz cups per recipe. We also used peach jello and peach schnapps and grape jello and grape pucker up schnapps. The flavors are unlimited. We've used bahama mama, vanilla vodka and orange jello, just wander thru the booze isle and come up with all kinds of mixtures. We had a blast.

Squirm Shots 2 cups vodka 3 cups water 3 (3 oz) packages Jello Gummy worms
Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Dissolve the Jello in boiling water, stirring at least 2 minutes until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in ice-cold water and vodka. Pour mixture into shot glasses or paper cups. Before they get firm, add a gummy worm to each glass. Let set in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
