10 ounces Vodka
Directions: Mix the jello mix with the boiling
water until the powder is fully dissolved

16 ounces Malt Liquor
Directions: Mix the jello mix with two cups
(16 ounces) of boiling water until the powder

The cold water called for by the recipe
on the box is replaced by the malt liquor.
Pour the mixture into either shot glasses
