Instructions
On a lipped tray, set out 30 one ounce cups and set aside for later. Make sure you have room in the fridge to accommodate the tray.
Make the red layer
In a large measuring cup with a spout or a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of boiling water and the red jello. Whisk until dissolved.
Next, add in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka. Whisk again.
Carefully pour the mixture into the cups about a ¼ to ½ way up.
Carefully place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until that layer is set.
Make the green layer
In a large measuring cup with a spout or a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of boiling water and the lime jello. Whisk until dissolved.
Next, add in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka. Whisk again.
Once the red layer is set, carefully pour the green jello on top.
Place them back in the fridge for 2 hours or until they are fully set.
To serve
When ready to serve, top each jello shot with a squirt of whipped cream and some sprinkles.
Notes
Do not garnish until ready to serve.
Store covered in the fridge for up to a week.
Use 1 oz cups (makes approximately 30 shots) or 2 oz cups (makes approximately 15 shots).
Use whichever flavor of vodka you like. If you don't like vodka, another light liquor can be substituted.
If you want to make them non-alcoholic/kid-friendly, replace the 1/2 cup of vodka with 1/2 cup of water.
