Instructions

For the red layer:

  • Divide the jello mixture evenly among the shot glasses filling 1/3 of the way.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or until set.

For the white layer:

  • Add the gelatin to a bowl and stir in the boiling water until completely dissolved.

  • Divide the white jello evenly among the shot glasses filling 1/3 of the way. (Your glasses will not be 2/3 filled.)
  • Transfer the jello shots to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or until the white layer is set.

For the blue layer:

  • Add the blue gelatin to a bowl and stir in the boiling water until completely dissolved.
  • Stir in the vodka. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Divid the jello mixture evenly among the shot glasses until filled just below the rim.
  • Transfer to the refirgerator and chill for 1 hour or until set.

Notes

To ensure your layers don't "bleed" together, allow the jello to set up completely before adding a new layer.
Use a spoon or small measuring cup to pour the layers into the shot glass. Be sure to do this slowly so the colors don't bleed together. I like to pour the next color along the side of the glass to decrease the chance it will breach the surface of the previous layer.
