Ingredients
Scale
Green Layer
- 1 3 ounce package lime Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup vodka
Red Layer
- 1 3 ounce package cranberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup vodka
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prep the Cups: Place plastic shot cups on a rimmed tray or baking dish to easily transfer them to and from the refrigerator. Ensure you have enough space in your refrigerator to chill the shots.
- Make the Green Layer: In a large bowl or measuring cup with a spout, combine the lime Jello mix and 1 cup boiling water. Whisk until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka. Carefully pour the mixture into each cup filling them just under halfway. Refrigerate for about 45 minutes until the layer is set.
- Make the Red Layer: Repeat the process with the cranberry Jello: whisk the mix with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then mix in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka. Pour this red mixture gently on top of the chilled green layer in the cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
- Serve: When ready to serve, top each jello shot with whipped cream and festive Christmas sprinkles for a fun holiday presentation.
Notes
- If cranberry Jello is unavailable, substitute with strawberry, cherry, or raspberry Jello for equally delicious results.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add whipped cream and sprinkles just before serving to keep the presentation fresh.
- Use a tray with rims to avoid spills when transferring cups to the fridge.
