Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 ounce cherry jello (or strawberry)
  • 3 ounce berry blue jello (or blue raspberry)
  • 3 cups boiling water (divided)
  • 1 cup clear vodka (or up to 1 1/2 cups)
  • cold water
  • 1/5 ounce clear gelatin (two .25 oz packets of clear gelatin)
  • 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • Whipped cream
  • Red, white, and blue sprinkles

Instruction

  • Combine the packet of blue jello and 1 cup of boiling water in a bowl. Whisk the mixtures until jello is fully dissolved in the boiling water.
  • In a 2-cup measuring cup, pour in 1⁄2 cup - 3⁄4 cup of vodka. Add cold water to the 1 cup measurement line. (Depending on how strong you’d like the jell-o shots, adjust the amount of vodka and then add water as needed to make 1 cup total of liquid).
  • Pour the blue jello mixture into the vodka mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour the blue mixture to fill the bottom 1⁄3 of glass or plastic shot glasses. You should be able to make about 30 jello shots, but the amount will vary depending on the size of the shot glasses.
  • Set the shot glasses inside the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill and set. Once the blue layer of jello has set, mix together the white layer.
  • Pour 1 cup of boiling water into a bowl and sprinkle both packets of clear gelatin over the top. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved in the water. Add 1 cup of cold water and the can of sweetened condensed milk into the gelatin mixture and stir until fully combined.
  • Place the white jello mixture into the refrigerator or allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Divide the white jello between the shot glasses, pouring it to form a layer on top of the blue layer (filling the shot glasses to about 2⁄3 of the way full.)
  • Refrigerate until white layer is set (about 1 hour).
  • Prepare the red layer the same as the blue layer was prepared. Dissolve jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Mix vodka and cold water to make 1 cup of cold liquid. Combine the red jello solution and the vodka solution. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Pour the red layer over the white layer to fill the shot glasses to the very top. Refrigerate 1-2 hours until the full jello shots are set.
  • Whip heavy cream or use canned whipped cream to top the jello shots JUST BEFORE SERVING. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles.
