Do you know how to make your own Jell-O shot? The Jell-O shot has become a tradition in college parties. And in emergency cases where you need to make one, you have to move quickly and think fast. This article will serve as a lifesaver when those emergency interventions happen.
Step 1: Make a checklist and gather your ingredients.
Making Jell-O shots is a snap if you are ready and prepared. List down the items you need before going to the grocery store. This way you spend less time wondering around and more time getting your groceries done. Purchase several boxes of Jell-O flavor you like. Have extra boxes at hand so you don’t have to run again for the grocery store in the middle of the night when stores are closed. Pick ones that tastes good. Pick flavors that your guests will appreciate. Then find a good brand of vodka and several disposable cups.
Step 2: Estimate the number of guests.
Now that you have ample supply of ingredients, plan for how many cups are you preparing. How many are coming to your party? How many cups per guest? Draw up an estimated number and prepare them accordingly.
Step 3: Grab a pot and boil water.
Put an adequate amount of water into a pot and bring the water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, add your preferred Jell-O flavor into it. Stir the mixture until the Jell-O has completely dissolved into the water. Take extra precautionary measures when handling boiling water. Wear protective gear like an apron.
Step 4: Turn of the heat and add vodka.
The ratio of vodka would depend on how much strength you want your Jell-Os to have. You can simply add 3 cups of vodka to the pot or have a three is to one ratio of vodka to the mixture. Then stir again.
Step 5: Open your disposable packs.
Line up your disposable cups on a tray. Make sure you have enough number of cups to serve your guests during your party.
Step 6: Use a ladle to transfer your Jell-O into your cups.
After you have prepared your cups and your mixture has cooled off a little bit, carefully transfer the contents to each cup. Again use precautionary measures as you do the transfer. Fill each cup to about three fourths in height so there’s room for the mixture to expand once you chill it.
Step 7: Chill in the refrigerator.
After you have filled the cups, canvass the space available in your fridge. Will all of the cups fit in? If not, chill the cups batch by batch. Chill your Jell-O cups per tray and maybe ask your nearby neighbor if you could use some of the refrigerator space he has just for the night to chill the remaining Jell-O cups you have.
Step 8: Serve cold and enjoy.
After all the hard work, now you are a certified Jell-O shot machine maker. You are official a party animal. Serve your Jell-O shot products to your guests and have them enjoy a few rounds of it.
