MARGARITA GELATIN SHOTS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold limeade; let stand 1 minute. Heat and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in tequila and triple sec. , Pour into 2-oz. shot glasses; refrigerate until set. If desired, garnish rim with salt and lime. To serve in lime wedges instead of shot classes, halve and juice 6 limes (save juice for another use). Scrape out pulp. Arrange halves in muffin tins for stability. Fill with gelatin mixture. Refrigerate until set; cut each lime half into 2 wedges.

• Empty jello powder into a large mixing bowl and add the boiling water.
• Continue stirring for two minutes or until the jello is completely dissolved.

BASE JELLO SHOTS RECIPE WITH FRUIT FLOATERS

Steps:

• To make this easier, you may want to have a two quart pitcher with a handle and a pour spout to mix it with and then to pour it into the shot cups.
• First boil the water and then put it in the pitcher. Then add the package of gelatin. Stir, or shake, if your container has a tight fitting lid, to dissolve.
• Add cold water or equivalent amount of ice, fruit juice, and then liquor. Definitely use ice instead of the cold water if you are having the party in less than 4 hours because it will solidify faster. Taste to ensure there is enough liquor and consider adding more. If you use a citrus juice then you can add more liquor. Do NOT use pineapple juice, it will interfere with the gelatin setting.
• Pour the mixture into 3 oz Dixie cups, filling 2/3 full (after all, you want enough of these to go around). I normally lay down a sheet of wax paper, and then pour the cups and place them on a cookie sheet. If you do two batches you can place the cookie sheets on top of each other in the fridge.
• Drop small fruit slices or an individual berry into each shot cup for a classy touch. Then chill for at least 3 hours.
• To bring them to your friend's party, find a cardboard box. Fill the bottom layer with shots. Lay another piece of cardboard on top of that layer and fill that layer with shots, and so on. They should make the journey with no problems.

EASY FRUIT-JUICE GELATIN

Steps:

• Place 1 cup juice in a glass bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin. Meanwhile, bring remaining 3 cups juice to a boil. Pour boiling juice over gelatin-juice mixture, and stir until gelatin dissolves completely. Pour into 5-ounce juice glasses, which make great single servings. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
