Some of my favorite combinations are...
One 3 oz box of Melon Fusion and One 3 oz box of Lime with Tequila. You can also add a slice of fresh jalapeno. The crunch and the heat is a nice combination with the jello and booze. Do not add the slice when the jello is warm, the heat will be too much. Put the cups in the fridge and let them set for 30 or so minutes and then add the slices to the top. I like heat, but you don't want to make a batch so hot that you have to throw them out.
One 6 oz box of Jolly Rancher Green Apple gelatin with Fireball.
One 6 oz box of BlackBerry Fusion gelatin with a combination of Moonshine and Vodka.
One 6 oz box of Cranberry gelatin with Vodka and then drizzle or drop a little Grand Marnier, Triple Sec or Orange bitters onto the top of each shot before chilling.
How to make:
Boil two cups of water. While water is boiling, place 20-25 or the 2 oz solo cups on a jelly roll pan. Or a casserole pan, something with edges works best. Empty gelatin into a glass bowl (DO NOT use plastic), pour boiling water over gelatin and give it a good stir for a couple of minutes until dissolved.
Advice:
If you are going to make green ones for St. Paddy's day, plan on buying your Jello and the 2 oz plastic cups the week before.
Don't use the good stuff. Or if you do make sure it is just a drizzle. Nobody will care what kind of vodka or tequila you used for your shots. And if they do, more for everyone else.
Add gummy worms, the sour ones are good.
Add fruit. Soak some strawberries or blackberries in booze, in your fridge for a week or so. Drop a blackberry into each cup, drizzling a little booze onto the top of each Jello shot as you go. Cut up the strawberries and add them to the jello and then pour into the cups.
Do not do the Jello in the strawberries. They will not look like this... Jello in strawberries.
They will look like this, FAIL.
They will not set and they will not be worth the fuss.
