Play Games.....Have Fun......Be Young!

So I have this rum left over from my drunken pineapple and I don't like it in drinks because it was cheap.
I thought how fun would it be to make JELLO Shots! My mother in law had to tell me that it is made from animal byproducts...yuk! The same reason why real chicken stock gels when cold verses stock in the box or can.


I thought this was the bst best way to explain it....
Wikipedia has this to say about where gelatin comes from:

Gelatin (spelled 'gelatine' in some Commonwealth countries from the French gélatine) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), nearly tasteless solid substance, derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, and is classified as a foodstuff, with E number E441. It is found in some gummy candies as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin dessert, and some low-fat yogurt. Household gelatin comes in the form of sheets, granules, or powder. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others need to be soaked in water beforehand. Some dietary or religious customs forbid the use of gelatin from certain animal sources, and medical issues may limit or prevent its consumption by certain people.

If you not to grossed out to still make JELLO Shots, here is the basic
Strong:
 1/2 water (hot)
1/2 alcohol
box of JELLO
Less:
2 parts hot water one part alcohol

ideas:
Lime with Tequila
Rasepberry with rum or vodka
Cherry with Southern Comfort or Jack Daniles
Lemon with vodka
Pineapple with Spiced Rum
Plain with Kahlua & Cream or Bailys
Orange & Lime with Tequila
have fun.......and DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE Please!
