More of the Best Mardi Gras Jello Shot Recipes

Your Mardi Gras party will be even more fun if you add Mardi Gras themed Jello Shots to your menu. Mardi Gras Jello Shots come in purple, gold and green or with names like Bayou Juice and Drunken Gator. You and your guests will enjoy these recipes.

Before you begin making Jello Shots you will need something to hold and serve your Jello Shots. I find that disposable cups with lids, like 2 ounce soufflé cups, work well. You can choose to use paper cups, twisting shot cups or even empty syringes. When using the plastic cups for Jello Shots, lightly coat the inside of the Jello Shot cup with non-stick spray so your Jello Shots will slide out easily.

Follow these easy Jello Shot recipes and you will have fantastic Jello Shot treats for your Mardi Gras Party.
