How to Make Red White And Blue Jello Shots

  1. Prepare three 3-cup bowls. In the first bowl, combine one (3-ounce) package of red Jell-O, 1 cup of boiling water, and ½ cup of vodka or your preferred red liquor. Stir until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
  2. In the second bowl, combine one (3-ounce) package of Jell-O's limited edition Pina Colada flavor gelatin, 1 cup of boiling water, and ½ cup of white rum or vodka. Stir until the Jell-O is completely dissolved. (If using a different white Jell-O, adjust the liquor amount to your taste).
  3. In the third bowl, combine one (3-ounce) package of blue Jell-O, 1 cup of boiling water, and ½ cup of blue curacao or other blue-colored liqueur. Stir until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
  4. Divide the red Jell-O mixture evenly among your shot glasses or a silicone mold. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Once the red layer is set, carefully add the white Jell-O mixture on top of the red layer. Refrigerate for another 2 hours, or until set.
  6. Finally, add the blue Jell-O mixture on top of the white layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  7. Once set, carefully remove the Jello shots from the molds or glasses and serve chilled. Enjoy responsibly!
