Step 1: Gather your ingredients.
To make approximately 32 1-ounce (30 ml) shots, all you'll need is: 1 6-oz. package of Jello (170 grams) Approximately 3 cups of water Approximately 1 cup of chilled alcohol of your choice -
Step 2: Mix the water and alcohol to make 2 cups.
The proportions will depend on the proof of the alcohol you use.
Use the following ratios to ensure that the shots will set: 13 oz. (26 tbsp., 390 ml) of 30 to 50 (~20%) proof alcohol with 3 oz. (6 tbsp., 90 ml) water 10 oz. (20 tbsp., 300 ml) 80 to 100 (~45%) proof alcohol with 6 oz. (12 tbsp., 180 ml) water 6 oz. (12 tbsp., 180 ml) 150 to 200 proof alcohol with 10 oz (20 tbsp., 300 ml) water , Wait until the mixture is completely chilled before moving onto the next step.
This is important because the temperature at which alcohol evaporates (the boiling point) is
78.6 degrees C (173°F).
Later you will mix the alcohol with a water that was just boiled at 100 degrees C (212°F).
If the alcohol isn't cold, it might exceed its boiling point when mixed, and some of the alcohol will evaporate.
This will make your shots less potent. , You'll need exactly 1 cup of boiling water, so put a little more than that in the pot or kettle since some will evaporate. , Stir constantly until the powder is completely dissolved. ,, Adding small plastic spoons or Popsicle sticks can help, too. ,, Chill them until they become firm (approximately 2 to 4 hours).
Refrigerate until served and make sure to serve them cold. -
Step 3: Put the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
-
Step 4: Bring more than 1 cup of water to a boil.
-
Step 5: Measure out 1 cup of boiling water and mix it with the powdered Jello.
-
Step 6: Stir in the chilled water and alcohol mixture.
-
Step 7: Spray the inside of the cups with cooking spray so the Jello easily slides out later.
-
Step 8: Pour the mixture into the cups.
-
Step 9: Place the shots on a tray in refrigerator (not the freezer).
