Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1Before starting, line up all shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge.
2. Step 2For orange layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with orange Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and whisk together. Place 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange Jell-O into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
3. Step 3For blue layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with blue Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk together. If you’re being very picky about team colors, add a drop or two of navy blue food coloring and mix well. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 2 tablespoons of blue Jell-O. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jell-O shots are completely set.
