There's no doubt that Jello shots are a party favorite. Although this particular recipe calls for watermelon jello and rum, many flavor variations exist. Substitute the rum in the above recipe with midori melon liqueur, for example, and you have something altogether unique. Orange or cherry jello (jell-O, or "gelatin dessert") works well with brandy, while peach jello tends to suit bourbon (jack daniel's) as raspberry jello does raspberry schnapps.
Many jello shot recipes simply call for a flavored jello and vodka, or even rum. Keep in mind, when planning your parties, it's a good idea to provide for several tastes. Try some of the following popular combinations:
Lime jello, tequila and triple sec
Orange jello, orange cognac/brandy (ie. grand marnier) or peach schnapps
Cherry jello, cherry brandy
Raspberry jello, raspberry schnapps
Tropical fruit jello, mango liqueur or dark rum
Peach jello, bourbon (rebel yell)
Unflavored jello + lemonade, kentucky whisky
Strawberry jello, light rum and strawberry liqueur
Apricot jello, amaretto
Grape jello, vodka
When allowing jello shots to set, chill them in individual servings; in an ice cube tray, or similar equipment. Note that the water in jello shot recipes is required to allow the jello to set. If for some reason you find your mix fails to set, you either need to add more water, or use less. In either case, you'll need to start from scratch. (Don't add more gelatine at a later stage - the water isn't boiling, therefore your shots will inherit a grainy texture.)
