Irish Flag Jello Shots Ingredients:
- 1 (3 oz.) package of Lime jello
- 1 (12 oz.) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (3 oz.) package of orange jello
- 1 envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin
- 4 cups of water, divided
- 1 ½ cups of vodka, divided
- Whipped cream for topping
- Green and orange sprinkles for topping
- 3 oz. plastic shot glasses
Directions:
Step 1: For the bottom layer first, in a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Step 2: Remove from the heat and whisk in green jello powder, stirring until dissolved. Add ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup vodka, and stir to combine.
Step 3: Pour the green gelatin mixture evenly between your 3 oz. cups, filling them about ⅓ full.
Step 4: Move the cups to the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
Step 5: For the next layer, in your saucepan, whisk together 1 cup water and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin. Heat to barely a boil. Remove from the heat and pour in sweetened condensed milk and vodka, stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
Step 6: Once the mixture has cooled, add to your jello shot cups, on top of the green layer, filling the cups about ⅔ of the way full, leaving equal room for the last layer. You can discard any remaining white gelatin mixture.
Step 7: Move the cups back to the refrigerator to chill for another 2 hours.
Step 8: For the final layer, the orange layer, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in orange jello, until dissolved. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka, and stir to combine. Allow the orange gelatin mixture to cool completely.
Step 9: Once jello is cool, fill your shot cups the remainder of the way with orange jello.
Step 10: Move the cups back to the refrigerator to chill for 2 more hours, or until ready to serve.
Step 11: Before serving, top with whipped cream and orange and green sprinkles.
Substitutions & Tips:
- You can use any flavor of vodka for these shots. Vanilla vodka, or whipped cream vodka would both be delicious.
- You could also try making these with Jameson Irish Whiskey! It may alter the colors some, but it shouldn’t be too obvious.
- Then, try adding a splash of Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur to the white layer.
- I hope you love this fun layered shot. They are sure to be a huge hit at your party, and a great way to offer an extra boozy treat outside of just your regular cocktails.
