Irish Coffee Jell-O Shots
If you’re looking for an easy way to get the St. Patrick’s Day party started, look no further than these Irish coffee inspired Jell-O shots, featuring layers of Kahlúa-spiked coffee, Baileys Irish cream, and Irish whiskey. We also included a bit of pecan liqueur (because it’s delicious), but feel free to replace it with an additional 1/4-cup Baileys.

Pomegranate Champagne Jello Shots
These sophisticated squares are a far cry from the jello shots you had in college. They're not very sweet, so if you'd like them sweeter, use demi-sec sparkling wine. The Pop Rocks® pop immediately once they're wet, so serve them on the side, to be sprinkled on right before eating.

Carrot Cake Gelly Shots
Dessert meets cocktail: Bourbon-y spiced carrot gelatin delivers familiar warming flavors, and creamy vermouth is absolutely the "frosting" on the cake.

Black Pepper Strawberries-and-Cream Gelly Shots
Juicy strawberries and a hint of black pepper are already a winning combination, but add vodka and vanilla cream and you've got the best shooters your party could ask for. If you have trouble finding strawberry liqueur, substitute Chambord (raspberry liqueur, readily available in many package stores).

Basic Jello Shots
You may be tempted to use straight vodka, but don't! By using flavored vodka instead of regular, you can create delicious flavors that actually make Jello Shots taste good! Imagine that.

Strawberry-lemonade: Strawberry gelatin with lemon-flavored vodka
Very Berry: Cherry gelatin with berry-flavored vodka
Limeade: Lime gelatin with watermelon-flavored vodka
Lemon Berry Blue: Berry blue gelatin with lemon-flavored vodka

Cucumber-Sake Gelly Shots
These are the herbaceous, slurpable shooters your party needs. You don't need a juicer to make fresh cucumber juice. Instead, puree 2 large cucumbers in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve.

Rangpur Lime Shooters
Time: 20 minutes, plus at least 2 hours to chill. Think of these shooters as a really, really good margarita you can pick up with your fingers (or a spoon). Just make them for your next party, and watch your guests' eyes light up. They're from Cal Stamenov, chef at Marinus restaurant at Bernardus Lodge, in Carmel Valley, California. Stamenov also likes to play with other flavor combinations, like Meyer lemon juice with vodka instead of tequila.
