4th Of July Jello Shot Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

Makes: 25 plus jello shots (depends on shot cup size)

6 ounce box strawberry Jello
6 ounce box berry blue Jello
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
5 cups boiling water (divided)
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 vodka; or other choice of liquor (For non alcoholic replace vodka with 1/2 cup water or juice)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix strawberry and berry blue Jello per the box directions and place them into bowls into the fridge overnight or for at least 3 hours until set.

Break up Jello and place into Jello shot cups. A little of each color works well.

In a separate large bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water and allow to sit for 5 minutes. After the gelatin blooms (it will look mostly dissolved and get wrinkly on the surface), add 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup vodka (or liquor of choice); stir to dissolve.

Add the can of condensed milk and stir to combine; set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled milk mixture over the red and blue Jello in the shot cups.

Place in the fridge overnight to set. Or, if you are a procrastinator like myself, as long as possible before guests start arriving or you have to leave.
