Ingredients

  • 1 box 3 oz grape Jell-O gelatin (purple layer)
  • 1 box 3 oz orange Jell-O gelatin (orange layer)
  • 1 box 3 oz lime Jell-O gelatin (green layer)
  • 3 cups boiling water divided (1 cup per layer)
  • 1 ½ cups cold vodka divided (½ cup per layer) *the vodka must be completely chilled to set*
  • 1 ½ cups cold water divided (½ cup per layer)
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Halloween sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  • Arrange 24 two-ounce plastic shot cups on a tray or baking sheet for easy transfer.
  • For the purple layer, whisk grape Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then stir in ½ cup cold vodka and ½ cup cold water.
  • Pour about 1 ⅓ tablespoons into each cup and refrigerate until set, about 45–60 minutes.
  • For the orange layer, whisk orange Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then stir in ½ cup cold vodka and ½ cup cold water.
  • Carefully pour about 1 ⅓ tablespoons on top of the purple layer in each cup, then chill until set, about 45–60 minutes.
  • For the green layer, whisk lime Jell-O with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then stir in ½ cup cold vodka and ½ cup cold water.
  • Gently pour about 1 ⅓ tablespoons over the orange layer in each cup, then refrigerate until fully set, about 1–2 hours.
  • Just before serving, top each shot with whipped cream and Halloween sprinkles.

Notes

  • Skip freezing your Halloween Jello shots because they won’t work for long-term storage.
  • If you plan to take them to a party, transport them in a muffin tin to prevent them from falling or spilling.
  • Don’t rush the process! Allow each layer plenty of time to set in the refrigerator, or you won’t have distinct layers.
