I’m pretty sure your Memorial Day cookout plans will be incomplete if you don’t make these Patriotic Jell-O shots.


Patriotic Jell-O Shots

Ingredients
Red Layer
1 pack red raspberry Jell-O
1 ½ cups water
½ cup Pomegranate Vodka
White Layer
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cups water
2 packs Knox Gelatin
Blue Layer
1 pack berry blue Jell-O
1 ½ cups water
½ cup Blue Curacao


Preparation
Red Layer:  Boil 1 cup water.  Add the Jell-O to the boiling water, stir until dissolved.  Mix the vodka with ½ cup cold water, stir slightly.  Wait for the Jell-O mixture to cool slightly, and then stir in the cold water and vodka mixture.  Pour into 1 oz Jell shot cups (portion cups or Dixie cups will do), about 1/3 the way full.  Chill in the fridge.


White Layer:  Boil 1 cup water, mix in the milk, and then set aside.  Sprinkle the gelatin over ½ cup cold water, let stand for a few minutes.  Boil ½ cup water, and then blend into the gelatin mixture.  Stir until dissolved.  Blend the milk and gelatin mixtures and let cool to room temp.  Once the red layer has set, carefully pour this onto the shot for another 1/3 height.  Place in the fridge.


Blue Layer:  Boil 1 cup water.   Add the Jell-O to the boiling water, stir until dissolved.  Mix the Curacao with ½ cup cold water, stir slightly.  Wait for the Jell-O mixture to cool slightly, and then stir in the cold water and Curacao mixture.  Once the previous layers have set add and this mixture cools a bit, pour on top of the other layers about 1/3 height or until the top of the shot is reached.  Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
