Jell-o Shots

Please be careful, these are lethal. I watched my friend Brian eat a tray of them once, the equivalent of 2 cups of vodka, and, although funny to watch the dance routine that followed, it was kind of pathetic if you know him.

It is important to use novelty dixie cups. The best ones I have used are the clear cold sample cups I liberated from Starbucks- you can see the colored layers. Also good are the little cups that are sort of pleated, it makes it easy to remove.

These really make a party. don't worry that people will make fun of you and say "dude, I didn't know this was a frat party." As the Cos says, "there's always room for jell-o", and after you watch your friends get messed up on these I guarantee you will be laughing last.

You will need:
A big- ass jug of vodka, the cheaper the better
assorted colors of jell-o ( like the Slurpee, Jell-o is more about hue than actual flavor)
water, cups and fridge space. Clear fridge space first. don't make the same mistake I did and try to move things around in a full fridge with a tray full of wet shots. Disaster!! ( and alcohol abuse)

Follow the directions on the package, substituting vodka for the cold water part. Divide into cups and refrigerate.

Advanced Jell-o shot making:
This is your chance to get creative!! You can change the alcohol, or make layers!! or stick gummi worms out of the top of your shots.
Some tasty combinations:

Watermelon schnapps or pucker with watermelon jell-o
Gin with lime jell-o
Vodka and triple sec with cranberry Jell-o, garnished with a gummi lime. Tres Sex in the City!!
Tequila, triple sec, lime jell-o- Beware, these made us sick!!
For Nadine and David- Rum and Blue Jell-o. I'ts too bad they dont have Diet Coke Jell-o, huh? But may I suggest rum in a coke slurpee?
Black Cherry Jell-o and Rasperry vodka, with sparkling wine, for the special occasion!!

If anyone has any other great ideas, i'd love to hear them!!
