The concept of Gelatin Shooters is to substitute alcohol for a water portion of a
recipe for flavored gelatin. The shooters, served in small plastic or paper cups or glass
shotglasses, are swizzled with a toothpick or stirrer to liquefy them a bit before
drinking.
Suggested proportions for gelatin shooters:
Large box of Jell-O, 2 cups hot water, 1 /2 cup cold water, 1/2cup
alcohol,
(Vary alcohol amounts: 1/2 cup for 40-proof alcohol, 1/4 cup for 80-proof. )
Suggested preparation for gelatin shooters:
 | Place 3 oz bathroom size paper cups, plastic pill cups or small glass glasses
with stems in a cake pan. |
| Prepare gelatin according to recipe. |
| Let the gelatin/alcohol liquid cool to room temperature, then pour about 2
ounces into each cup/glass. |
| This will fill them about 2/3 full (makes about 6-8) |
| Place pan of shooters in refrigerator to set. |
Note: The sugar free gelatin is easier to use, easier to
dissolve.
Some gelatin flavors go better with some liquors. The fun is in the
experimentation and creation.
