I looked up cocktail recipes online, typed them up on Microsoft word, put them in fun text, and printed them out. I purchased a regular spiral bound notebook for $1. BUT, it took a long time and I would do it differently (which I will talk about later). I needed something more to go along with the present, so I made a cocktail recipe book. This will cover up bad handwriting (which I have) and the bleeding of the sharpies on the wood. You can type them up to be the size of the peices, cut them out, peel of the backing and stick them directly onto the pieces. If I knew then what I know now… I not only would have bought the Jenga board at Walmart for less expensive, but I would have typed up the questions/commands on sticky paper. Whoever knocks it down has to do whatever the group decides…we made Jackie (the loser) do a shot. To make the game more fun we all went around and answered each question. If it is a question, they have to answer. Whatever the command is, they must complete it. To play the game, a person pulls out one of the pieces and places it back on the top. After buying the Jenga game, I saw a cheaper generic version of it at Walmart for $6.

I also added fun questions to ask while you are playing like “Best Date, First Kiss, Most Embarrassing Story, Most Awkward Date”. I used Sharpie markers on the individual tiles and wrote different drinking commands like “Take a Shot, Hand Out a Shot, Finish Your Drink, Do a Waterfall”. I purchased a classic Jenga game at Target for $12. I bought the 6 coloroed shot glasses from TJ Maxx for $6. The gifts were great- from scarves to socks to blankets and clutches!įor my present I knew I wanted to have a drinking theme because most 23/24 year olds like that! I made a drinking Jenga game to start out and then added pretty shot glasses and made a cocktail recipe book. 😦 We sometimes exchange names, but this year we got exchange gifts that anyone would like. It’s getting a lot harder to find a time that we can make work, and this year we missed out on two of our friends. Our recipes for champagne Jell-O shots, cranberry Jell-O shots, and Christmas Jell-O shots are proof that shots can be fun and kinda fancy.My friends from High School and I get together every Christmas time because it is one of the only times we all are all in our hometown. Never made Jell-O shots or want to refine your skills? We've got a handy how-to on making the best Jell-O shots for your next party.

In short, this is ABSOLUTELY the time to break out all of those fun flavored vodkas, bottles of bourbon, Fireball, and Kahlúa you've got hanging out in your bar cart. We used a combination of whiskey and apple schnapps to bring a bit of spice to our crisp Washington Apple shot, Baileys for our tiramisu shots, and Rumchata for our snickerdoodle shots. We love more neutral-flavored tequila and vodka for our Jell-O shots, personally, but the sky is truly the only limit for creating your own custom shots at home. When it comes to mixing up a batch of shots, there are tons of different alcohol combinations depending on the flavor profile you're trying to achieve. Want an easy way to get to the top of the nice list this year? Leave a few milk and cookies shots out for Santa! 😉 Keep your Christmas party merry and bright with our favorite seasonal shots recipes, like mistletoe shots, apple pie bourbon shots, and more. When we talk about getting into the holiday spirit, we take the term pretty literally: by adding plenty of our favorite alcoholic spirits to our favorite Jell-O shot recipes and holiday dessert-inspired shots.
