Instructions: How to make the best Jello Shots ever!

Warning and Disclaimer:

Alright, first and foremost, I need to say that Jello shots can be a bit dangerous. If you use 190 proof grain alcohol (i.e. Everclear), the Jello tastes deceivingly non-alcoholic and can get you really fvcked up in a hurry. Further, if you think that Jello shots are immature or sissy, you can disregard this thread.

What you need to make the best Jello shots ever:

1) Lots and lots of boxes of Jello (Do NOT get Sugar-Free)
2) Refrigerator or freezer to set Jello shots
3) Alcohol of choice (Vodka or Grain alcohol for best results)
4) Lots and lots of these (This is what makes them so awesome, make sure to get 30 to 60cc)
5) Jello shot holders (Optional)

Directions:

So mix up your Jello in a gigantic pot (i.e. pasta pot) and once everything is dissolved and the alcohol has been added, start sucking up the mixture into the syringes. No, you are not going to inject the Jello-alcohol mixture into your arm. The syringes are needle-less.

Throw all the syringes into the refrigerator or freezer, or better yet, get several of these. They are made to hold test tubes upright, but they work perfectly for holding the now full Jello shot syringes. If you put them in the freezer, be careful to not let them actually freeze. Once they are set, move them into the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Use:

Once the Jello shots have set, pull them out of the fridge. They are ridiculously easy to move around a party to serve if you bought the test tube holder I linked. Taking a shot is painless, just push the stopper down! No need to use a finger to skim around the edges of a mini Solo cup!

Costs to you, the maker:

Not that much actually. If you have a friend that works in a lab or at a pharmacy, you can get syringes for extremely cheap -- to the tune of 5 cents each. That is 200 syringes for $10.00. Sure, they are more expensive than the mini Solo cups, but they are so much cooler!

Salutations:

Thanks for reading! If there are any typos or grammar errors, let me know. If you decide to make a batch of these, take pictures for ATOT.
 
I just make the Jello in a glass measuring bowl thing with a handle and spout. I bought the plastic cups and lides from Sams (I have enough to last me forever). Never get colored fingers or anything and it works great. I normally do 1:1 Alcohol:water for the strong ones and 2:1 water:alcohol for the weaker ones.

And BTW, using anything other than your tongue to remove the Jello from the little cup is cheating.

EDIT:
Here's what I use:

Cups:

Lids:

And get the lids too. Then when they are sufficiently stiff, pop the lids on and you can toss them in a cooler and take them with you. Then you just throw them away when done.

Bleh, nothing better than spitty fingers at a party! Right on!

I know the cups you are referring to -- the Jello sticks if it is set, so you do have to use a finger to unstick it. I have used them many times. This method has zero loss of alcohol, and zero spitty fingers.

Whenever I've made them there isn't a problem. Just a quick slurp out of the cup and that's it. Nice

Linked up the cups I use above. THey are small enough that like I said, you use nothing but your tongue. At least that's what the experienced people do. Just the newbs that use their fingers.

True -- if you are a diehard crappy cup fan, then there is nothing that I can do to persuade you to try this method. It is fun, and a major topic of conversation. Most, if not all, people at the party will have never seen syringes used before.

Yep, same cup/lid combo I have used before. I just find the syringe method to be a bit more entertaining.
 
Hmm. 1.5oz (estimated from the 2oz cups I use) = 44cc. Hmm. Need some pretty big syringes (or just a lot of them)... At least according to the first conversion website I found.

ANd I guess washing them would work too if you had a way to keep them upright you could just dump them in the dishwasher.

You have to make sure to get 30 to 60 cc syringes. That is roughly 1 to 2 fluid ounces. I need to add that to my post.

As for sourcing the syringes, I have always bought them in ultra bulk from the pharmacy or in labs. Yes, anyone can go to a pharmacy and buy syringes. I have friends that are Pharm techs, and that work in various labs. They order the syringes in until bulk, 1000s at a time. I just buy a portion from them at cost, plus a tip.

Correct, I am editing!
 
Why not just run a tube down your esophogus, attach the syringe to the other end, and squirt it straight into your stomach? You'll be the life of the party!

Dumb question: do you use everclear/vodka in the same amount that water is called for?
 
I was at a party last year where a pharmacist friend made jello shots in syringes and other various lab instruments.
Some shots were much bigger than others.

I have come close once. I took my 70 oz Camelback Rogue and filled it with a bottle of Arbor Mist Sangria! Mmm, tasty!

Of course, I cleaned the crap out of it afterwards.

Yep, pharmacy parties rock. Smart people make for great drunk conversation.
