The Best Mardi Gras Jello Shot Recipes

Mardi Gras is the season for fun and indulgence and no Mardi Gras party is complete without something special. Treat the guests at your next Mardi Gras party these with Mardi Gras themed Jello Shots.

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.
