MJF Notes: Trying these for Jerrys 60th bday. Play with ratios of liquids. I remember 2 teaspoons of gelatin might have made them rubbery so perhaps try less.

Lightly oil shot glasses or molds. Set aside

In a measuring cup, add half the coke and sugar, then sprinkle gelatin over top. Wait 5 minutes then microwave 30 seconds or longer until gelatin dissolved.

Add whiskey and Coke. Stir well.

Pour into shot glasses or molds. Refrigerate until the liquid sets up; at least 2 hours, but overnight is recommended.

Serve cold.

The key to spiking jello is to keep the liquor and other ingredients in check. While it may be tempting to pour more whiskey, this can result in a jello that wont set all the way. It creates a big mess unless you serve it in a hands-free way like plastic shot cups or with miniature spoons. Even then, it can be more like slime than jello and leaves a bit to be desired.

To prevent a jello disaster, always make sure your liquid ingredients add up to no more than 2 cups. One cup of that needs to be boiling water and the 1/4 cup of cold water should also remain (though its not as critical). Just keep in mind that whatever you add to the liquid volume of one ingredient needs to be taken off of another ingredient.
