Recipe by Erica Pitera Cheer on the Cardinals with these festive Jell-O shots.

Ingredients

36 plastic shot glasses
3 oz. box cherry Jell-O
4 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
3 c. Cold vodka
1 c. milk
1/4 c. granulated sugar
3 1/2 tbsp. grape Jell-O powder
3 1/2 tbsp. lime Jell-O powder
Black food coloring

Instructions

Before starting, line up all of your shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge.
For red layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with box of cherry Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope of gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk together again. Place 1 tablespoon cherry Jell-O mixture into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over cup of milk and allow mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of sugar and whisk everything together and heat on medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and whisk again. Wait for white gelatin mixture to cool down to room temperature before layering (it can cause the colors to melt and bleed otherwise), then add about 1 tablespoon 1 teaspoon of white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
For black layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup of water with grape Jell-O and lime Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and whisk together. Add a few drops of black food coloring and mix well. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 1 tablespoon 2 teaspoons of black gelatin mixture. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so the Jell-O shots are completely set.
