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 blue layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with blue Jell-O box and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together; heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and drop of navy blue food coloring and whisk together again. Place 1 tablespoon blue Jello mixture into each plastic shot glass and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.
3. Step 3For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over milk and allow mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add sugar and whisk everything together; heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk again. Wait for white gelatin mixture to cool down to room temperature before layering (it can cause colors to melt and bleed otherwise), then add about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
4. Step 4For red layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup of water with box of cherry Jello 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 vodka and whisk together again. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the red Jell-O. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jell-O shots are completely set.
