Ingredients
Red Layer
- 0.5 package strawberry jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold vodka
White Layer
- 0.5 package lime jello
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cup cold vodka
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
Blue Layer

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- For the red layer: In a bowl, combine strawberry jello mix and boiling water. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved. Stir in the cold vodka.
- Pour the red jello mixture into paper or plastic shot cups, filling them about one-third full. Place the cups on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes, or until the jello is partially set (firm to the touch but not completely solid).
- For the white layer: In a separate bowl, combine lime jello mix and 0.5 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Stir in the cold vodka and sweetened condensed milk.
- Once the red layer is partially set, carefully pour the white jello mixture over the red layer, filling the cups to about two-thirds full. Refrigerate again for another 30-60 minutes until partially set.
- For the blue layer: In a third bowl, combine berry blue jello mix and boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Stir in the cold vodka.
- Carefully pour the blue jello mixture over the white layer, filling the cups to the top. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Before serving, you can optionally add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of edible glitter to represent the stars and stripes.
Notes
For best results, ensure each layer is partially set before adding the next to prevent the colors from mixing. Adjust the amount of vodka to your preference, but keep in mind that too much alcohol can prevent the jello from setting properly.
