They sell plastic (disposable) shot glasses at Party Stores that you can throw out. Use half water and half vodka. They don't really gel that great but they taste good.

FI uses Triple sec in orange jello. comes out soooooooooooooooooo good.

As for regular jello shots, i am of no help.

for the cups, go to McDonalds and 'borrow' a lot of those ketchup cups. They work perfect for jello shots

I use dixie cups for jello shots - smallest ones you can find.

If they make jello in red, white and blue, you can certainly make jello shots those colors!

we made margarita ones last time, with lime jello and tequila...yummy!

I am told that I made amazing jello shots.

I follow the recipe on the box, and just substitute alcohol for water.

Some of my best combos have been...
Strawberry jello with champagne
Orange jello with vodka (screwdriver shots

)
Peach jello with peach schnapps
Strawberry banana jello with banana rum
Strawberry banana jello with Malibu (daquiri shots

)
Lemon jello with Bacardi Limon (lemon drop shots

)

As for the cups, I 'borrow' them from Wendy's ketchup bar.

Re: Call me niave...

I thought the first step in making jello shots was going to Wendys

JennRenee - your combos sound great!!

I don't think you can substitute the hot water for alcohol...it won't boil? needs higher temp?

so I substitute the cold water

I have used the small dixie cups...bt one halloween I used straws (standing up in a 1 quart container) and they looked like worms....
