DIRECTIONS:

Place the plastic cups on a baking sheet so they are lined up and ready to be filled. Set aside.


Blue Layer

  • Place the jello powder into a medium mixing bowl (preferably with a pour spout).
  • Pour the boiling water over the jello powder while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the powder is completely dissolved.
  • Add the cold water and vodka to the jello. Stir to combine.
  • Fill each of the plastic cups 1/3 full with jello. Refrigerate the jello for 1 hour or until set and wobbly.

White Layer

  • Place the gelatin powder in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the cold water of the powder. Give everything a quick stir and let rest so the power absorbs into the water.
  • Pour the boiling water into the bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and vodka. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the jello mixture into each of the plastic cups so that they are 2/3 full. Refrigerate the jello for 1 hour or until set and wobbly.

Red Layer

  • Pour the boiling water over the jello powder while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the powder is completely dissolved.

  • Fill each of the plastic cups until full with jello. Refrigerate the jello for 2-3 hours or until completely set.
  • Cover with lids and stack in a storage container in the fridge until ready to serve.
