Whisk cherry Jello mix and 1 cup of boiling water in a small saucepan. Continue to whisk until the Jello is completely dissolved.
1 small box cherry jello, 3 cups boiling water
Stir ½ cup cold water and ½ cup tequila into the Jello mixture.
1 ½ cups cold water, 1 ½ cups tequila
Pour into the shot cups, forming a shallow layer. Move to the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
Once the cherry layer has set, whisk the package of orange Jello into 2 cups boiling water. Continue to whisk until the Jello is dissolved.
1 large box orange jello, 3 cups boiling water
Stir 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of tequila into the orange Jello mixture.
1 ½ cups cold water, 1 ½ cups tequila
Pour on top of the first layer, filling the shot cups the rest of the way to the top with the orange Jello mixture. Move to the refrigerator to chill again for about 4 hours or until the orange layer is set.
Garnish with a mini orange wedge and a maraschino cherry before serving.
16 Maraschino cherries, 16 Fresh orange slices or wedges
Notes
Be sure you don't add too much alcohol to your shots or your Jello may not set properly.
If you spray a little coconut oil or Pam cooking spray in the bottom of your shot cups before pouring in the Jello, it'll make your shots slide out easier.
