I made some jello shots a couple months back (checked my procedure to the procedures on here, and they match, so I know I didn't do anything wrong in the preparation stages) but after chilling for almost 36 hours (made them on a Thur morning, didn't do anything to them till Fri at about 5 or so) they were still very runny. I used Vodka, boiling water and Cherry Jello, substituting the Vodka for the cold water.
I'm thinking of making some for this weekend, but I'll have to make them tomorrow night, and will be really ticked if they don't set by Friday.

I'll give you the key to having Jell-O shots setting in 2-3 hours. Don't believe me? Give it a try.
The first trick is to buy the Sugar Free stuff. Trust when I say it tastes just as good. The regular Jell-O has too much sugar and that's why they remain runny. There is also plenty of natural sugars in liquor. The best booze to use is vodka.
1st-boil 1 cup of water, then dissolve the jell-o in a bowl till all of it is gone.
2nd-after jell-o dissolved add 1 cup of COLD vodka and mix it in a little
3rd-measure 2 oz. shots in PLASTIC little dixie type cups (don't use the paper ones)
4th-put in fridge and let sit for 2-3 hours and they'll be done

They normally take at least overnight. 36 hours is way too much though. When I make Jello shots, I put a packet of unflavored gelatin into each batch also. They set much faster and remain firm for much longer instead of melting away. They are more easily handled like that too, especially on a warm summer day.
Give it a try!

they are only supposed to take 24 hours for the jello to set. i think your problem is you got to much booze in them keeping the jello from setting we make them 1/4 oz booze and 3/4 oz mixed jello and put them in a really cold fridge try something other than vodka or any hard liquor thats whats keeping it from setting

You used too much alcohol. They'll never set with too much liquer in them. You still have to add some water, use half vodka and half water

Well, you must have used too much vodka...I know, there shouldn't be such a thing as "too much vodka".
