Doc Makes Jell-O Shots!
So I have some booze and I have some jell-o and I don't work for two days.
What am I supposed to do with all of this? Make jell-o shots of course! I've been mixing drinks for about a month now and I'm still pretty horrible so I have a good idea on how epically bad this will go down.
Oh well - here it goes.
Step 1
Find the flavor of jell-o you'd like to prepare. I'm preparing something that my boyfriend will drink without complaint so I am making a type of fuzzy navel. Peach schnapps and orange jell-o/juice. There wont be any lemonade but I don't think it would be that big a difference in such a small bit of jell-o.
Step 2
Make it stupid difficult to actually make. I decided to go with a jell-o mold that isn't a bowl, not a cup, not even a shot glass. I will be using orange rinds for my jell-o.
Step 3
Carve out the orange pulp and fruit, leaving the rinds in tact. Keep the actual orange fruit and stuff separate, you will want their sweet supple juice for later on. Make sure when you scoop it out with a spoon or whatever you keep as much as the rind as possible, you'll want a thick skin on the orange.
Step 4
Prepare the jell-o according to the directions, make sure that water is boiling HOT and you dissolve the powder 100% completely. If you do not then the liquor will collaborate with some enzymes and shit and it will not set. After you dissolve the powder remove the liquid from the source of heat.
The next part is important: let the liquid cool to room temperature. The reason is that the next step involves putting in the booze. And if you put it in too quickly then you will lose all the alcohol in the booze and be left with not much of anything except normal expensive jell-o.
So while you're waiting go over to that pulp, blend it up and then push it through a strainer and enjoy some 100% fresh squeezed orange juice. Don't drink all of it however!
Step 5
Mix the booze into the jell-o. Check the back of the jell-o box and see how much cold water they want you to mix into the mixture. Replace that number with some cold booze. I chose some cheap ass Peach schnapps as said earlier.
Measure it out.
You know schnapps taste pretty good.
Damn good.
I don't remember much about the next four hours.
At all.
After you get all that measured out collect yourself and add it to the now room temperature mixture behind you.
Step 5
Mix a bit of the OJ into the booze into the jell-o mixture, stirring while doing this all.
Step 6
Set up your oranges for liquid holding. This seems to be the easiest way, the muffin tray so far has been used 0 times in my house so I don't care if I spill all around it or catch it on fire.
Step 7
Pour. No really just pour.
Step 8
Refridgerate the jell-o for a few hours.
Also it may help to have some room before you do this.
INTERLUDE!
While I was waiting for the jell-o to settle I realized I cut 2 and a half 2 many oranges for the small 3oz box I bought. This left me with nothing to do with the rinds, and time to kill.
But I'm sure I'll find a way to pass the time.
I mean what CAN'T you do with 2 orange rinds?
INTERLUDE OVER!
Step 9
Cut the fuckers up! After a few hours they should be set. Because of the alcohol and orange juice added they are cloudy and opaque but they will still taste delicious!
Soon become!
Aren't they pretty?
Now the hard part. Finding some way to justify having these with nobody here here but myself, my boyfriend, and a roomie who doesn't drink a whole lot :(
