Name: New Orleans Saints Jell-O Shots
Yield: 36
Ingredients: 36 plastic shot glasses; 3 1/2 tbsp. grape Jell-O powder; 3 1/2 tbsp. lime Jell-O powder; 5 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, separated; 3 c. cold vodka, divided; Black food coloring; 2 c. Milk, Divided; 1/2 c. granulated sugar, divided; Brown food coloring; Yellow food coloring

Step 1Before starting, line up all shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge.

Step 2For black layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with grape and lime Jell-O 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 whisk together. Add a few drops of black food coloring and mix well. Place 1 tablespoon black Jell-O mixture into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.

Step 3For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over 1 cup milk and allow the mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add ¼ cup 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.

Step 4For gold layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over 1 cup milk and allow mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add ¼ cup sugar and whisk everything together; heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and use a toothpick to add less than a drop of brown and yellow food coloring and whisk again. Keep adding tiny bits of different food colorings until you achieve a light gold color you like. Wait for gelatin mixture to cool down to room temperature before layering, then add about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jello shots are completely set.
