Hey Gromit - I saw the beautiful picture Vicki took of your jello shots on St. John. They looked awesome and I'd like to make some for New Year's Eve. Any chance you have a recipe??

Thanks!

From Gromit's Trip Report Day 2

Anyway, I baked the brownies and started up the Jell-O shot lab. My good friend Keith at the local Outback at home supplied me with small Styrofoam cups. These were great. Each box of jell-o will yield enough to fill eight of these cups ¾ full. Each cup then becomes the equivalent of one shot of alcohol.

I used Orange, Lime, Lemon and Watermelon Jell-O for the shots. For the liquor I used rum, tequila, vodka, triple sec and sour mix. Here’s the site I used for the recipes:

Orange+Triple Sec+Vodka = Cosmopolitan Shot
Lime+ sour mix + tequila = Margarita shot
Lemon+ Vodka = Lemon Drop shot
Watermelon + rum = Watermelon rummy yummy!

Mr. Gromit and I got an assembly line going and before we knew it we had produced 32 lovely cups of Jello-Shot joy!! I even made little quarter wedges of lime and placed them on the Margarita shots and sprinkled sugar on the lemon drop shots. GARNISH!!

Jell-O shot tip: In retrospect I was glad that I did these a full day ahead of time just to give them plenty of time to set and get cold.

If transporting them make sure you have a cookie sheet that is small enough to fit in a cooler Wrap well in saran wrap. Brownies also need to go into the fridge for safe keeping in the humid climate.

Whoops! I totally missed that. Thanks for the info!

Those sound good! Can I come over Tracy?

Sea-Nile - you can come today for the taste testing party and then stay for tomorrow for the real deal. But, you need to bring the sit-up Santa along.

Deal! You should see the video I have of me, my sisters and my mom doing the sit ups along with Santa! And we hadn't even hit the jello shots yet.

Hey ladies-- sorry I missed this Tracy!!

I don't usually comb the OT forum.

That web site really works.

I have to say that my real fave was the margarita shot with the garnish of lime. You cn even sprinkle a bit of salt on top.

Worked out great.

I'd use plastic spoons though if you go with cups this size.

Almost like dessert!

Thanks everyone! I made the margarita, fuzzy navel, sex on the beach, and cherry amaretto. They all look pretty yummy! The real test will be tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all!
