Dispute on jello shot recipe?

Ok-So I am making Jello Shots for my honey's 30th b-day party this weekend-so reminiscent of college days! (Yes, we are also having a keg or two) Anyway, I have never made them myself, only watched. I have searched for recipes, & I know to substitute the alcohol (in this case, cheap Vodka) for the cold water. However, some recipes say don't sub all the cold water w/ vodka or they won't set up, & some say you can. I need a definite answer from an experienced Jello Shot maker! I am going to probably use Watermelon jello (if it matters) & I would like to use the Big Box of jello. Please let me know your opinion, as I am going to go with the majority on this one! Thanks All!
Peace

First of all, freeze whatever kind of liquor you plan on using. It will help the shots set up quicker. Also, it's easiest tomake them in a bowl or large Pyrex cup with a spout, so it's easier to pour them into the shot cups. When I make mine, I just replace the cold water with the liquor and make according to the package. I've never had a problem with them setting u[p ok. Also, sometimes all vodka can end up tasting strong. I make mine with 1/2 vodka and 1/2 schnapps or pucker.
