We live in the tropics where alcohol
(and a few herbs) reign supreme. In this menu I seize the opportunity
of taking some of Natures most basic ingredients and combine them
into one, smoking hot, get yourself loaded, type of party dessert.
We will be serving these Jello-O shots at our annual Halloween Party
and Street Fest in Charlotte North Carolina on October 31, 2010.
I'm not sure how many servings this
will make. It all depends on how large you cut the Jell-o
cubes. However, I would guess that this recipe should put a
nice buzz on 4-5 of your best friends.

For each box of
Jell-O, boil 2 cups of water
