When to Serve Strawberry Jello Shots

Jello shots are one of the most underrated party drinks. They're easy to make, and there are so many flavor options. Plus, they're always a hit with guests.

I can think of at least half a dozen occasions throughout the year when jello shots would be an awesome drink choice.

For example, Cinco de Mayo is the perfect time for margarita jello shots.

Jello shots are usually used to serve at large parties because they can be made ahead of time and conveniently consumed by guests.

Or, if you're looking for something festive, red and green jello shots are perfect for Christmas parties.

And let's not forget about the Fourth of July - what could be more American than red, white, and blue jello shots?

What Alcohol Works Best for Jello Shots?

The best alcohol for Jell-O shots is vodka, but other spirits work well too. Fireball Whiskey is a great cinnamon-flavored whisky that makes a great combination with cherry jello.

Gin will infuse more of its own essence into the final product while still letting all those delicious flavors shine through!

How Do You Eat a Jello Shot?

There are a few different methods for eating a jello shot. Some do it easier than others and some will struggle with that little 2-ounce cup for an hour.

Method One: Suck it out with your tongue. Run your tongue around the inside of the edge of the cup.

Method Two: Use your finger. It's a little messy but it usually works.

Method Three: Tear open the side of the cup. This is kind of hard to do if the cup is hard plastic.

Method Four: Pour a little of your liquid cocktail or beverage into the cup. This usually helps the jello shot slide right out.

Method Five: Okay, if you really can't do it with any of the other methods above, I will give you a mini spoon for it.
