Orange 'shot' slices. Another way to enjoy gelatin shotsDress up a party with orange 'shot' slices. Cut oranges in half. Use a spoon to cut around the edges between the rind and inner skin. Remove the fruit, leaving just the rind of half an orange. Fill the halves with gelatin shot mixture. Refrigerate until firm. Cut orange halves into thirds. Enjoy.
tips
Chill alcohol at least one hour prior to adding to mixture. (not in freezer)
Depending on the proof of alcohol you use, adjust the proportions of alcohol to cold water to ensure that the shot still sets. Use the following ratios:
13 ounces of 30-50 (~20%) proof alcohol to 3 ounces cold water
10 ounces 80-100 (~45%) proof alcohol to 6 ounces cold water (U.S. standard)
6 ounces 150-200 proof alcohol to 10 ounces cold water
If you would like more "potent" shots, you can "push" the recipe a bit. This variation makes 6 large cups with 2 ounces of alcohol each, or 12 small cups with 1oz of alcohol each, yet still sets hard and tastes great.
Although shot glasses look prettier and allow you to see the vibrant colors of the Jello, paper cups allow for easier Jello shot consumption as they can be turned inside out. Ice cube trays also work well.
When serving large parties use more water and less alcohol in your shots to help cut costs and better control intoxication.
To make the jello easier to consume, buy plastic cups that also have lids. Pour the mix into the cup, add the lid, then turn it upside down prior to refrigeration.
Be creative in mixing Jello flavors with alcohol. If you have a favorite alcoholic drink, try converting it into Jello shot form using unflavored Jello, juice, soda and alcohol.
Orange and cherry are Jello flavors that work well with Brandy.
You can match fruit flavored liquor with fruit flavored Jello.
Here are some popular liquor and Jello flavor combinations:
Lime Jello with tequila and Triple Sec (try adding a pinch of salt to the liquid mixture)
Lime Jello with Coconut Rum
Orange jello with orange cognac and brandy (such as Grand Marnier) or peach Schnapps
Unflavored gelatin with Coca Cola and rum
Cranberry Jello with vodka
Cherry Jello with cherry brandy
Raspberry jello with raspberry Schnapps
Tropical fruit Jello (or unflavored gelatin mixed with fruit punch) with dark rum or mango liqueur
Unflavored Jello with lemonade and whiskey
Strawberry Jello with light rum and strawberry liqueur (such as Pucker)
Apricot Jello with amaretto
Lime Jello with Sake
Lime Jello with Sprite, Pimm's, and cucumber garnish
Strawberry Jello with champagne (retains some bubbles!)
Orange Jello with amaretto
Pineapple Jello with coconut rum
Blue Jello with Everclear
Black Cherry with Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum
Orange Jello with Absolut Mandrin
[edit] WarningsUse caution when boiling water - use pot holder to handle hot container. Never leave boiling water unattended.
Do not transfer boiling water directly into shot containers.
Be careful with paper cups. Sometimes the mixture can seep through the edges, especially if the alcohol content is high, affecting the adhesive.
Consume shots in moderation. Although gelatin shots taste like candy they each contain as much or more alcohol than a beer, wine or shot. Wait a few minutes between shots.
Jello stains are difficult to clean. Club Soda and ice water help avoid stains caused by spills.
Do not drink and drive.

Just follow the directions on the Jello box, but when it tells you to put in a cup of cold water, use vodka, rum, or whatever clear liquor you want. I usually put in a little extra just for fun, too. :-)
Pour it into paper cups, plastic cups, whatever you have bought for the occasion, about an inch deep or so. Put 'em in the fridge till they solidify.
It's really very easy.
