Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box (3 oz / 85 g) orange-flavored Jell-O
  • 1 box (3 oz / 85 g) lime-flavored Jell-O

Alcohol:

  • 2 cups (473 ml) vodka (or any preferred liquor)

Liquid Base:

  • 2 cups (473 ml) water

Garnish:

  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Halloween-themed candies (gummy worms, eyeballs, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Craft a vibrant orange gelatin base by dissolving the powder in boiling water, ensuring complete integration and smooth texture.
  2. Incorporate vodka and cold water into the orange mixture, creating a balanced liquid consistency that promises a spirited kick.
  3. Gently distribute the orange gelatin into shot glasses, filling each vessel precisely halfway to establish a perfect foundation.
  4. Allow the orange layer to solidify completely in the refrigerator, transforming from liquid to a firm, jiggly state.
  5. Prepare the lime gelatin layer using identical technique: dissolve powder in boiling water with meticulous attention to complete blending.
  6. Infuse the lime mixture with vodka and cold water, maintaining the same spirited proportion as the orange layer.
  7. Once the orange layer has set firmly, delicately cascade the lime gelatin over the initial layer, creating a striking two-toned visual effect.
  8. Return the shots to the refrigerator, permitting the lime layer to set and stabilize into a perfect gelatin consistency.
  9. Elevate the presentation by crowning each shot with a luxurious dollop of whipped cream.
  10. Enhance the Halloween aesthetic by adorning with playful, spooky garnishes like gummy worms or whimsical candy eyeballs.
  11. Chill thoroughly before serving to ensure optimal flavor and texture for a festive, adult Halloween treat.

Notes

  • Adjust vodka strength by varying the ratio of alcohol to water for desired potency, ensuring a balanced flavor that doesn’t overpower the Jello.
  • Use clear vodka to maintain the vibrant orange and green Jello colors, preventing cloudiness or discoloration.
  • Create non-alcoholic versions by replacing vodka with cold water or clear fruit juice for a kid-friendly Halloween treat.
  • Prevent layer mixing by pouring new Jello layer gently over the back of a spoon, allowing it to softly cascade onto the set layer without breaking the surface.
