A festive and fun layered jello shot recipe featuring red, white, and blue layers, perfect for summer parties and patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) red raspberry gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka or clear spirit of your choice
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka or clear spirit
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) blue raspberry gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka or clear spirit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: Stir the red raspberry gelatin powder into 1 cup boiling water until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes). Add ½ cup vodka and stir gently. Pour about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) into each shot cup, filling them roughly one-third full. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until set but still slightly tacky.
  2. Prepare the White Layer: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Heat ½ cup boiling water and dissolve the bloomed gelatin into it. Stir in 1 cup sweetened condensed milk and ½ cup vodka until smooth and combined.
  3. Layer the White: Once the red layer is ready, carefully spoon or pipe the white mixture over it, filling each cup another third full. Chill again for 20-30 minutes until set but still tacky.
  4. Prepare the Blue Layer: Dissolve blue raspberry gelatin powder in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in ½ cup vodka. Let cool slightly to room temperature but do not let it set.
  5. Final Layer: Gently spoon or pipe the blue gelatin over the white layer, filling each cup to the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Keep the jello shots chilled until just before serving. Ensure layers are distinct and vibrant.

Notes

Work quickly and keep gelatin mixtures at the right temperature to avoid melting layers. Let each layer set until firm but tacky before adding the next. For non-alcoholic versions, substitute vodka with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. For dairy-free white layer, substitute sweetened condensed milk with sweetened coconut cream.
