Ingredients:

• 1 box blue Jello
• 1 box red Jello
• 2 packets unflavored gelatin
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup cold water
• 3 cups boiling water
• 2 cups vodka

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix blue Jello with 1 cup of boiling water until it is fully dissolved. Then, add 1 cup of vodka and stir well. Pour this mixture into shot glasses, filling them about 1/3 full. Place them in the refrigerator and let them set until firm.

2. In another bowl, mix the unflavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water and stir until it dissolves completely. Add the sweetened condensed milk and cold water, mixing well. Pour this white layer over the blue Jello in the shot glasses once it is firm. Let it set completely in the refrigerator.

3. For the red layer, repeat the same process as the blue layer: mix red Jello with 1 cup of boiling water and stir. Add 1 cup of vodka, then pour over the white layer once it has set. Allow the shots to chill in the refrigerator until they are entirely firm.

4. Once all layers are set, serve these chilled shots, and enjoy your festive treat!
