How To Store Jello Shots

You can make these jello shots up to three days in advance. Store them without the whipped cream on top and keep the air off of them. Wrap them in aluminum foil to protect them from the cold refrigerator air.

Best Type of Whiskey for Eggnog

You can use either bourbon or whiskey in these eggnog jello shots. Both Kentucky Straight bourbon and Honey bourbon are popular choices to mix with eggnog.

Traditionally, bourbon is mixed with eggnog, but rye whiskey is also used in lots of recipes. Try it with both and see which one you like most! Some people even enjoy adding rum to eggnog, because it makes it taste a bit sweeter, without the bite or burn of whiskey or bourbon.
