    Ingredients

    • 4 3 oz. boxes flavored gelatin (2 blue, 1 yellow, 1 red)
    • 3 cups vodka
    • 20  ice cubes
    • 3 cups boiling water

    Directions

    1. 1You'll be making five layers: Blue (TOP LAYER, POURED LAST) Yellow (POURED FOURTH) Red (double height) (POURED THIRD) Yellow (POURED SECOND) Blue (BASE LAYER, POURED FIRST)
    2. 2Make the first packet of blue gelatin by mixing the powder with 3/4 cup of boiling water in a pitcher. Stir well until the powder is fully dissolved. Stir in 3-4 ice cubes until they've melted and cooled the liquid down to something approaching room temperature; then stir in 3/4 cup of vodka.
    3. 3Use the pitcher to pour a blue layer into your glasses ... you should get between 4-8 large shots out of this depending upon your glasses. You'll wind up using about half your liquid. The other half will probably set up before you can pour it again for the final layer, so pour it in a bowl or use it as one-flavor shots... whatever you like.
    4. 4Put the glasses in the fridge to set. This should take about 30-60 minutes.
    5. 5Now make the yellow gelatin just like you made the blue. Pour your layers, careful to use only half the liquid. The other half can be kept at room temperature. You should be able to deploy it a second time before it sets up at room temperature. Cool the glasses again so the first yellow layer sets up.
    6. 6Make the red gelatin. Pour a double layer on top of the yellow gelatin, and let it set up.
    7. 7Use the other half of your yellow gelatin to create a second yellow layer atop your red layer. Chill it until it sets.
    8. 8Make your second box of blue gelatin and pour a blue top layer. Again, you'll have about half leftover for whatever purpose you like.
    9. 9Chill your last layer, and you're set!

    if your making these as SHOTS...why not just make a batch of each color..let them set and then cut and stack in shot glasses...no time wasting at all...when all flavors have set..use a small glass for a cut out and stack flavored layers inside your glass..add whipped cream and enjoy :)

    You can easily re-melt the jello you used for your earlier layers, so you don't need two lots of blue jello. Just microwave it on a low setting until it re-liquifies - if you keep an eye on it, you'll find it turns back to a liquid while warm rather than hot, so you can use it more quickly.

    I've made Jello shots with tequila lots of times. You can use lots of spirits with care of when you add it to the mix to avoid alcohol being burned off.

    Maybe make the yellow and blue in half batches so that you can use the other half for the top. Or make double the recipe, and double the amount of red you make.

    It really is a lot better with Everclear. Vodka barely does anything, but after a few of THOSE with Everclear? You're feelin good. :)

    They are so easy to make. My daughter and I make them (without the liquor) and it is simple and fun. Not to mention that the time between layers you can clean up the mess from the layer you just finished and do some stuff around the house.

    @carinabrunson if you don't want liquor then you just make it according to the jello package and layer it. No need to add anything else

    If I choose to not use Vodka, would it be the same amount if I replace with water?

    Takes to long to make?? what do you do while waiting for these to set? nothing? just make one let it set and then when you have a minute make the next one. geez it's not like you have to just sit on your butt and wait for these to be done. i make 3 or 4 layer jello shots all the time and i do it at my convenience. no "yawning" here. stop the drama.

    If you use 2 boxes of the red, it makes twice as many shots, and you don't have to worry about what to do with the unused blue and yellow.
