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