Yesterday I made Jello Shots for my friend's ugly sweater Christmas party. Although Jello shots are generally thought of as college drinks you can easily spice them up for post-college parties by adding fruit or candy. Albeit, the shots I made last night were the basic ones.
These instructions are on how to make cherry bomb Jello shots.
Items you will need:
From the Liquor store - Your liquor of choice, I used Vodka but Rum is also a great base. A flavored liquor, I used sour apple and watermelon. Jello; there are so many combinations, this is really about personal preference. A container or multiple containers depending on your serving style, I prefer individual servings. And a can of maraschino cherries.
From the kitchen - a measuring cup, a pot, a stirring utensil, and a bowl with a spout.
The night before you make the shots drain the maraschino cherry jar of the liquid and replace it with your liquor. If you want even more of a punch let it sit for a couple of days.
Boil 2 cups of water. After your water reaches the boiling point add in the Jello. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved then let the mixture cool off slightly. Once it stops steaming add in 1 cup of your base liquor and 1 cup of your flavored liquor. Mix well. Transfer your mixture into your bowl with a spout and then pour into your individual cups/molds. Add a cherry to each of your cups then let the Jello set by placing it in the fridge. A little hint if you bought the plastic individual cups with lids; leave the lids off until the Jello is set. And there you have it folks! Cherry bomb Jello shots.
