Super Bowl Sunday is kind of like Thanksgiving. You get to snack all day, have a few drinks and watch football. Even if you don't follow football, the commercials and half time show are usually worth staking the best spot on the couch.
This year, we decided to pump up the volume and bring jello shots to the party. Its not everyday you can get away with pretending you're in college with keg stands and jello shots right? These may not be as simple as 50% vodka 50% hot water mixed with jello and set in pixie cups, but aren't that difficult either. Just give your self some time....rushing these babies will only lead to a jello-y mess that you may have to donate to your local frat house.

Mix 2 cups of water with blue jello until jello powder dissolved (takes about 3 minutes of stirring). Sprinkle in a little ( about a 1/4 of the 1oz pack) of the Knox gelatin for extra firmness. Once all mixed add in 1.5 cups of cold vanilla vodka and 1/2 cup of cold water and stir until mixed. Drop in a few drops (2-3) of blue food coloring until you see the color and saturation you like.
