Jello Shots to ring in 2012!

New Years.. what a better time to experiment with some new jello shots, right!?!?! Here are a few our clan tried on New Year's Eve. These are all pretty simple :)

#1 Margarita
3oz package lime Jello
8oz boiling water
4oz tequila
4oz sweet and sour/margarita mix

#2 Strawberry Daiquiri
3oz package Wild Strawberry Jello
8oz boiling water
6oz white rum
1oz sweet and sour/margarita mix

#3 Fuzzy Navel
3oz package Orange Jello
8oz boiling water
2oz vodka
6oz peach schnapps

#4 Cherry Amaretto
3oz package Cherry Jello
8oz boiling water
2oz cold water
6oz amaretto

#5 Sex on the Beach
3 oz package Orange Jello
8oz boiling cranberry juice
3oz peach schnapps
5oz vodka

#6 Jager Bomb
6oz package Orange Jello
1 can Red Bull, heated to boiling
4oz Jagermeister
2oz vodka
2oz cold water

#7 Mojito
3oz package lime Jello
8oz boiling water
6oz white rum
2oz cold water
mint leaves, chopped and crushed

#8 Peanut Butter and Jelly
"Jelly"
3 oz package Strawberry Jello
8oz boiling water
8oz vodka

"Peanut Butter"
1 envelope plain gelatin (Knox)
8oz cold water
2tbsp peanut butter
2oz Bailey's Irish Cream
2oz Amaretto
2oz butterscotch schnapps or hazelnut liqueur

For all of the jello shots the same instructions apply: Boil the water, add the jello and mix until dissolved, let cool, add alcohol stir and pour into cups, place in fridge and let set... EXCEPT the peanut butter and jelly shot which is somewhat the same but using Know you have to let the gelatin "bloom" so you put the cold water in a saucepan and sprinkle the jello packet over the top. Let it sit for a minute and then turn on the burner and bring the water to a boil stirring to make sure the jello is dissolved and then of course let cool, add alcohol, and voila!

I have to say the peanut butter and jelly shot I almost decided against making but figured what the heck! Might as well try... It is definitely one of those jello shots that should not be consumed unless already wasted! The texture is one that will mak you gag... And, at our house, with that "drunken Irish man" the peanut butter and jelly shot turned into that one everyone was peer-pressured into taking. Haha

Oh yea... and for the mojito I definitely recommend FRESH mint leaves... I couldn't find them here so I substituted with crushed dried mint leaves... Not so yummy!
