A festive and easy-to-make layered jello shot recipe featuring vibrant red cherry, creamy white, and blue raspberry layers, perfect for celebrations like the Fourth of July.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) cherry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka or clear spirit of choice
  • 1 envelope (3 oz / 85 g) unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water, divided
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) vodka or clear spirit
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) blue raspberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka or clear spirit

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: Dissolve cherry gelatin powder in 1 cup boiling water, stir for 2 minutes until dissolved. Cool about 10 minutes, stir in 1/2 cup vodka. Pour about 1 tablespoon into each shot cup, filling one-third full. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes until firm but not fully set.
  2. Make the White Layer: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water and bloom for 5 minutes. Warm remaining 1/2 cup water gently (do not boil), add bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, mix in sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup vodka until smooth. Cool about 10 minutes without setting. Spoon over red layer to fill another third of each cup. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes until firm but slightly jiggly.
  3. Finish with the Blue Layer: Dissolve blue raspberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, cool slightly, add 1/2 cup vodka. Pour gently over white layer to fill cups. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight until fully set.
  4. Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator.

Notes

Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to avoid mixing colors. Chill each layer until firm but slightly tacky before adding the next to ensure clean separation. Use fresh gelatin packets for best results. For non-alcoholic versions, replace vodka with cold water or fruit juice. For dairy-free white layer, substitute sweetened condensed milk with full-fat coconut milk and use agar agar powder instead of gelatin.
