We had a huge "Deployment Sucks" themed party the other weekend. Complete with great food, games, alcohol and all things suckable....lollipops, jello shots, and drunk gummies!!
I even ordered shot glasses and swirl lollipops w/ the words Deployments Suck on them from Oriental Trading! Everyone loved them!
I'm not always a fan of jello shots but they were a huge hit! You can check out my link for some recipes! http://kasey713.blogspot.de/2013/06/jello-shots.html
I made four different flavors but my absolute favorite were the Dr. Pepper Vodka Jello shots! In case you were unaware, I am a huge Dr. Pepper fan! Here is the recipe.....
Dr Pepper Jello Shots
1 box Jello's Mixchief make your own soda pop jello. Here's a link to buy it from Amazon! (http://www.amazon.com/grocery-gourmet-food/dp/B004R8L6PE)
1 cup water
1 cup Dr. Pepper
1 cup marshmallow vodka (or another vodka of your choice)
Boil water then mix with gelatin until dissolved. Add Dr. Pepper. Allow to cool a bit and then add vodka. Pour into jello shot cups and refrigerate until well set. About 6 hours.
Drunken Gummies
Put a bag of gummy bears into a bowl. Pour vodka or rum over the bears until they are completely submerged. They must soak in liquor for at least 6 days. Stir daily and ad more liquor if needed.
On day four add thawed fruit punch concentrate to the gummies. It will take the bite out of them!
In the past we have used gummy bears, cola bottle, fruit shaped and life savers. These were a huge hit!! I hear the only gummies that do not work are the swedish fish!
:o)
Of course it rained for 2 days so we borrowed and bought canopies. Isn't it just my luck that it stopped raining at exactly the same time my party started!!! Overall the party was a success! It was a great chance to hang out and relax (and get drunk) before the guys deploy!!! Totally will make this a normal before deployment party!!! Any reason to party is a good one! LOL
Here is a pic of all my favorite (drunk) guys!!!! I love them, they make this Army Life so awesome!!!
