Jello shooters bring back memories of those good, old and wonderful days for you and your dinner guests. Some things must be kept in mind when it comes to creating jello shooters. For example, the water must be in the proper ratio to the alcohol so that these jello shooters will set and will not taste so sweet.
For a presentation that will be a treat for the eyes, create several trays containing different flavors of jello. Keep in mind that when the alcohol proof is higher, you will need more cold water so that the jello mixture will set.
