Ingredients

  • 3 cups water divided
  • 3 ounces lime jello 1 box
  • 3 ounces strawberry jello 1 box
  • 1 cup vodka divided
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Christmas Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Place Jello shot cups or plastic shot glasses on a shallow baking sheet that fits into the refrigerator.

  • After the green Jello has set, prepare the red layer. Bring 1½ cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove water from the heat and whisk in the red Jello, stirring until dissolved.

Notes

  • Be careful not to add too much vodka to your shots, or the Jello will not set properly.
  • To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute cold water for the vodka.
  • Be sure that the green Jello layer is completely set and the red Jello mixture has cooled to room temperature before adding the red layer. Otherwise, your colors may run together.
