Equipment

  • serving platter
  • plastic shot cups
  • Measuring cups
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces raspberry jello powder
  • 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
  • 2 cups boiling water divided
  • 1 cup cold water divided
  • 1 cup vodka divided
  • Aerosol whipped cream
  • Valentines sprinkles

Instructions

  • On a tray set out your cups, set aside for later. This is also a good time
  • to make sure you have room in your fridge for the tray of jello shots.
  • In a large measuring cup with a spout or a mixing bowl with a spout add 1 cup of boiling water and your raspberry jello.
  • Whisk until the jello is all dissolved.
  • Next add in your ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka.
  • Whisk again.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the cups about a quarter to halfway up.
  • Carefully place the tray in your refrigerator for 30 minutes or until that
  • layer is set.
  • Meanwhile make your strawberry jello the same way.
  • Mix the strawberry jello with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved then add in
  • ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka.
  • When the raspberry layer is set carefully pour the strawberry jello on top.
  • Place them back in the fridge for 2 hours or until they are set.
  • When ready to serve, top each one with a squirt of whipped cream and sprinkles
  • Serve

Notes

  • Some people prefer the 2 ounce cups for jello shots and those work well too, you just will get less shots out of each batch. 
  • This recipe is really easy to double or triple (and I recommend it!)
  •  You can use flavored vodka if you like. This would be delicious with whipped cream flavored vodka.
  •  I would wait until you are ready to serve before topping with the whipped cream and sprinkles.
  •  These can also be made without the vodka, just substitute the vodka for water. You can use cherry or strawberry for the bottom layer and the strawberry jello I used was a Starburst Strawberry flavored jello because it was pink, so you can use whatever flavor you like that is pink for that top layer.
