Halloween Jello Shots with Alcohol

These Halloween Jello Shots with Alcohol are layered like candy corn, because apparently even party drinks need a costume. Lemon gelatin, orange gelatin, vodka, and a creamy sweetened condensed milk layer make them fruity, festive, and definitely not for the kids’ table.

EQUIPMENT (PAID LINKS)

  • 16 Shot glasses
  • Small mixing bowls
  • Liquid measuring cup
  • Whisk
  • Spoon
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 3 ounces lemon gelatin mix
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • ¾ cup vodka
  • 1 package 3 ounces orange gelatin mix
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • ¾ cup vodka
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • 1 packet 0.25 ounce unflavored gelatin
  • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • ¾ cup vodka

Instructions

  • Make the Lemon Layer: Add the lemon gelatin mix to a small bowl. Pour in ¾ cup boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the Vodka: Stir ¾ cup vodka into the lemon gelatin mixture. Let it cool for a couple of minutes so it is not piping hot.
  • Fill the Shot Glasses: Pour the lemon mixture into 16 shot glasses, filling each one about one-third full.
  • Chill the First Layer: Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator and chill until the lemon layer is fully set, about 90 minutes.
  • Make the Orange Layer: Add the orange gelatin mix to a clean small bowl. Pour in ¾ cup boiling water and whisk until fully dissolved.
  • Add More Vodka: Stir ¾ cup vodka into the orange gelatin mixture. Let it cool for a couple of minutes before adding it to the shot glasses.
  • Layer Over the Lemon: Carefully pour the orange mixture over the set lemon layer, filling each shot glass about two-thirds full. Make sure the lemon layer is fully firm before adding the orange layer, or the colors may blend together.
  • Chill the Second Layer: Return the shot glasses to the refrigerator and chill until the orange layer is fully set, about 90 minutes.
  • Make the White Layer: Add ½ cup boiling water to a clean small bowl. Sprinkle in the unflavored gelatin and whisk until it is fully dissolved.
  • Add the Creamy Mixture: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and ¾ cup vodka until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes before pouring.
  • Finish the Jello Shots: Carefully pour the white mixture over the set orange layer, filling each shot glass to the top.
  • Final Chill: Refrigerate the jello shots until the white layer is fully set, about 90 minutes. Serve cold and keep them for adults only.
