Ingredients

4 packages (3 oz each) Jell-O gelatin (different colors)
4 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
2 cups vodka
Whipped cream for garnish
Sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

Choose 4 different colored Jell-O flavors.
For each flavor: In a bowl, add Jell-O powder and 1 cup boiling water, whisk until dissolved.
Add 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka to each bowl, stir well.
Pour first color into shot glasses, filling 1/4 of the way.

Refrigerate for 4-6 hours until completely set.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkles before serving.

Special Notes

These colorful layered Jello shots are perfect for parties and celebrations. The key is to let each layer set completely before adding the next one. The alcohol content is about 10% per shot. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the vodka with additional cold water. Use clear shot glasses to show off the beautiful layers.
