Adult Fun with Jell-O Shots

divinecaroline.com — I’ve been making Jell-O shots for years. They are easy to make, deliver the right buzz, and don ’t give you that bloated feeling. So after years of dixie cups and seeing all the new innovative “delivery systems” - heck one is even called suck and blow - I thought I’d look for a more adult solution and...

  • rumplestiltz, on 03/28/2008, -1/+36I think this beats ripping my jell-o shot out of a paper dixie cup. This is a much classier way to get more drunk that you ever planned on.
    • JulieBrownfield, on 03/28/2008, -0/+34Cool trick is to spray any cup paper or glass with Pam first. It will just slip out when you want the shot.
      • LaSepultura, on 03/28/2008, -0/+15I liked this tip more than the article.
    • romistrub, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5"get more drunk that you ever planned on."

      You're drunk right *now*, aren't you?!
    • ispellkonfusion, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3My friends and I used to make a giant cake-like Jello shot creation in Tupperware. We would just spoon it out. I look back and realize how disgustingly unsanitary that is...but it's much easier than dealing with the dixie cups. And when you're drunk, who cares, ya know?
      • macweirdo42, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Been there, done that - the way I look at it, either the alcohol kills the germs, or the germs will strengthen your immune system. You can't lose!
      • alkajazz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4By consuming germs you're making the human immune system stronger for future generations.
    • LogicBomB, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9If you don't mind it not looking professional you can just make the alcohol jell-o as per usual and spoon it into dixie cups. It doesn't stick so it just falls out when you tip them upside down.

      Just remind people that they don't need to squeeze the ***** cups like they are used to. I told 5 friends this at least 3 times and they all still ***** squeezed them and had problems. No ***** they had problems they clamped the jell-o into the cup. My friends are ***** idiots but if you have smarter friends by all means give it a try!
  • discodave12, on 03/28/2008, -3/+6'Put some earrings on that pig...!' - the only question left is what to wash the deliciousness down with? Top entry so far is anything from Bartles & James in a real champagne flute, followed closely by Boone's Farm on the rocks with an amaretto floater.
  • TZRefund, on 03/28/2008, -14/+2New and fun way to get a hangover!!
  • FrancoisLyon, on 03/28/2008, -11/+4Yes, I'll have some hooves, cartilage and snout with my vodka please.
    • 1aaaa, on 03/28/2008, -0/+19Crazy. Gelatin is in everything. I guess I'll take it with Vodka then.
  • dayvideg, on 03/28/2008, -0/+34how the hell am i supposed to gut an orange?
    • logicalnoise, on 03/28/2008, -1/+82without mercy
    • wild, on 03/28/2008, -0/+38Yea, talk about ***** instructions on that part.

      Personally, I would cut it in half and and scoop it out. Then just fill up either side and rest them on a cup in the fridge. Once they are solid you could easily slice them and then put all the halves together.

      For an interesting twist, and some cinnamon to apple flavored jello when you are mixing in the cold water. It gives an interesting heat and masks if the alcohol is a little too strong for some people.
      • Nightcrawler12, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1This sounds like a fantastic winter treat. Digged for awesome.

  • bryanwheatley, on 03/28/2008, -2/+6Anyone have a decent set of instructions on gutting the fruit without ripping it apart?
    • kterrance, on 03/28/2008, -0/+17It's not hard. Cut the fruit in half. For an orange long ways, as in the way the slices are positioned inside in whole pieces. Anyway cut it in half. Use a spoon to free the pulp edge of the fruit and you can easily pull it out. Remember when you peel an orange it's pretty much all stuck together. For melons or other bound fruit use a knife to cut the inside out.
      • johnroth, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Yeah I did this with oranges. I just cut a bunch in half and scooped out all the fruity innards. Then I poured in the jello and let it solidify. Then I cut all my halves into quarters and BAM I was drunk, and so was everyone else.

    • texpundit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Y'know...it really IS okay to take 9 1/2 Weeks out of the dvd player every now and then.
  • tehjarvis, on 03/28/2008, -3/+2Or you can just use the plastic variety of cups instead. I've never been to a party that does jello shots out of paper dixie cups.

    And who uses any water at all to make jello shots?
    • TheSarf, on 03/28/2008, -1/+10If you don't use water the jello won't set as well.
    • leopardflames, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3instead of water i've used sour mix, lemonade (lemon jello and whiskey for a lynchburg lemonade), soda, energy drinks....makes for a lot of fun!

  • sodypop77, on 03/28/2008, -2/+11A guy I know started a company in my town (Champaign, IL) and tried to get local bars to sell his Jello shot delivery system called CaulkShot. I thought it was hilarious but the idea never really took off.

    http://www.caulkshot.com/


    • nbcaffeine, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Perhaps it is just slightly off of "***** Shot"

      That, or maybe it is because nothing screams party like sealant delivery systems
    • bubba9999, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Patent pending? Really?
    • BurnTees, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5that is the DUMBEST thing I've ever seen.
    • texpundit, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Okay... cool idea... HORRIBLE name. I watched 15 seconds of the video and had to turn it off because I kept snickering at "***** Shot". (I know that's not the actual name... but it totally sounds like that.)

      You guys totally fail at marketing. You'd be better off calling it a Shot Gun or Squeeze Shot. Hell, even Pump Shot is better that Caulk Shot.

      PROTIP: I have a background in marketing and advertising.
    • cgbspender, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4A few ideas:
      - Make the website dark (black is good) and use a picture of a party in the background behind the logo
      - Make another logo that does not look like hand-drawn
      - Get some attractive girls, dress them in *name*-shirts and let them give free shots to partygoers at clubs (with the permission of the owner) or where lots of partying people gather between clubs.
      - Get a better name
      - For the video: short and simple = win. Less talk and explanation. Mix, refrigerate, serve - three steps, not more. The viewer should have an idea of the concept within 20 seconds. After that you can explain a bit more (flavors, how many shots/tube, ...)
      - If you can do it, or you know somebody who can do it, create a small flash game (collect points for serving customers with shots or something like that).

  • shortyjacobs, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Anyone find a problem with the "proof" table? How does adding less alcohol make a stronger drink? And how does one hit 200 proof, when you still add 16 oz of boiling water first??? Even if you use 16 oz of vodka instead of 10, and the vodka is the standard 80 proof, you only hit 40 proof shots.
    • rficwizard, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I think it makes sense if the proof number is the proof of the alcohol you are starting with, not what you are trying to achieve. Less booze, more water, same final ratio of alcohol to water.
    • migitalwarfare, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1the proof in that table is the proof of whatever liquor you're starting with, not the end result
    • shortyjacobs, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Oh, crap, I see. Nevermind then!
  • loafy929, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1When I read this title, I thought I was in for something much more sexy. What a freaking let down. Jello shots are gross anyways.
  • brettotte1, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6This guy's recipe is WAY OFF.
    Prep time: 10 min.
    Ingredients: vodka, jell-o, water.
    Serving Tools: tupperware, plastic wrap, plates.
    Tools: microwave, frig, knife, spoon.

    Here's how I make jello shots:

    1. Buy REAL jell-o brand. If you buy the off brand they just won't taste as good.
    2. Make sure you buy the jell-o WITH sugar in it. Sugar-free doesn't setup as well.
    3. Choose a flavor you think will work well with the taste of vodka. Many flavors don't work well. Trust me. Experiment with flavors making small 1-box batches. Cherry & Lime are the favorites and hide the vodka flavor the best. Mix them for new combinations.

    Here's all flavors: http://www.kraftfoods.com/jello/products/gelatin/d ...

    4. Buy a 1.75L of Barton's vodka. I know, I know. Get over it. The taste is well-hidden. Just don't get Phillips, McCormicks, or the dreaded Skol. You should be able to get it for $8.99.
    5. Making these takes preparation, so having all the ingredients in your freezer and cupboard means you won't have to go on a special trip to have them ready to serve that night. Toss the vodka in the freezer. It won't freeze. Too much booze in it.
    6. Follow the recipe on the box of jell-o for the amount of water to boil. Dissolve the jell-o in the boiling water. Now add a SECOND box of jell-o! Dissolve that as well. Now instead of adding ice cold WATER add ice cold VODKA. Give it a stir and then pour into square tupperware containers.
    Note: It's good to check ahead of time that the container can hold all the mixture, but make sure you don't fill containers so that the jello makes huge servings. One inch high is a good rule of thumb, so have plenty of containers.
    7. Tear off some Saran wrap let it skim the surface of the jell-o and tuck in the edges so that there is a good seal. This ensures the vodka won't evaporate or create a hard skin on top as the vodka tends to migrate towards the bottom. Put the lid on and prepare to cool.
    8. There's two methods to cooling. The best method is to let it sit in the frig for 8 hours. Don't serve them ahead of that time or they'll fall apart from not setting up all the way. There is a quicker method by initially putting them in the freezer for 60 min. Do not put it in the freezer for longer than 90-120 min though or you'll form ice crystals and they won't setup right. After initial chilling then put in the frig and that will shave off about 4 hours of frig time.
    9. After cooling get a paring knife and cut the jell-o into rectangles or squares if possible. Do not cut them too large. Trust me. Smaller is better and more people will try them and try MORE of them this way! Remove before serving simply by using a spoon to "pry" out a corner one and tilting the container towards a serving plate. Run the spoon down the column of cubes and they should all fall out and repeat with the next row.
    10. Serve 'em up! The smaller they are they easier they are to swallow, so don't make your guests CHEW 'EM!

    Tips:
    1. Do NOT use paper plates for serving these. They're too weak and the jell-o turns 'em nasty colors and sticks. Use a real plate or serving dish or at LEAST styrofoam.
    2. If you're transporting these put 'em on plastic/styrofoam plates to serve a SINGLE LAYER and then use a large gallon freezer bag to slide the plate into. This will prevent the cubes going everywhere in the car as well as keeping the jell-o firm instead of drying out.
    3. You don't have to use TWO boxes of jell-o per batch of course. You can always use half as much water and vodka for a half-batch.
    4. I highly recommend only trying cherry & lime to start out. This is what is requested most and works great for holiday drinking!

    *sigh*
  • Niceguy4186, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Another way to make it a little more "adult" is to make duel layers. If it's an x-mas party, use green and red, and so on. And even a little more fancy is if you want to stick alcohol soaked fruit between the layers. It's a little more work, but it does make a difference.
  • KDyneria, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2Pffft... Misleading title, fun for the whole family.

  • clarient, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1Buried for pretending like this was an original idea...
  • Virgule, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2sigh
    I got attracted here by the "Adult Fun" part... got Jello-O fruits instead :(
  • petebert, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1why does divinecaroline and the huffington post make the front page every day?
  • noseeme, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Haha, jello shots... I've been screwed by them. Let's just say I didn't realize that it takes substantially longer for the alcohol in a jello shot to get into your bloodstream. It was still a very mild vomiting session though. Only lasted a minute, and happened after I got home.
  • Jorlwind, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I used to make these things from the time I was 14-18, in a varying restaurant/bar combo kitchens where I worked. I learned it as a dish washer, and then kept doing it when I became a cook. The bar staff was always too busy to make it, so they'd throw me a big bag of jello mix and a fifth or two of some hard liqueur with little cups and tell me to get to it. fun fun for a minor, and to hell with the laws.
  • LogicBomB, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I made these yesterday after reading this article. I don't care what people say about gutting the fruit - it's messy and a pain in the ass. Not hard to get the final result without ***** up but expect to spend a solid 3-4 minutes per orange half. Worth the trouble in the end though.

    Please note not to pick up the same oranges I did. Mine had little "brains" you could say on the bottom (top?) of the oranges. When you remove the insideyou have to either leave this bulb thing in place (not attractive to look at or suck from) or remove it which causes a hole in the bottom because the bulb sticks out of the orange. I tried sealing it with saran wrap and all those halves leaked.

    Ultimately it looked awesome and was MUCH nicer than shooting from cups and had a nice WOW factor but seriously, all in all it was a pain.
