Ingredients
Scale
Berry Blue Layer
- 1 3-ounce box Berry Blue Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup berry vodka, chilled
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup Malibu rum
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, chilled
Cherry Layer
- 1 3-ounce box Cherry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup cherry vodka, chilled
Instructions
- Prepare the Berry Blue Layer: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the Berry Blue Jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved. Add 3/4 cup cold water and 1/4 cup chilled berry vodka. Mix well to combine. Pour the mixture into your desired shot cups or molds, filling them about halfway. Refrigerate until set, about 1-2 hours.
- Make the Gelatin Mixture: In a separate bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup of water to boiling. Add the boiling water to the gelatin mixture and stir until fully dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup of Malibu rum and 1/4 cup of chilled sweetened condensed milk. Mix well to combine. Gently pour this creamy gelatin mixture over the set Berry Blue layer in your shot cups. Return to the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Prepare the Cherry Layer: Dissolve the Cherry Jello powder in 1 cup boiling water in a clean bowl. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 3/4 cup cold water and 1/4 cup chilled cherry vodka. Stir well and carefully pour this mixture over the set creamy gelatin layer. Chill the shots in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or until completely firm. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive 4th of July Jello Shots!
Notes
- Use chilled vodka and rum to keep the shots cold and refreshing.
- Ensure each layer fully sets before pouring the next to keep clean layers.
- For easier filling, use a dropper or small spoon to avoid mixing layers.
- These shots should be consumed responsibly due to their alcohol content.
- Adjust alcohol quantities if you prefer a stronger or milder drink.
