Lunch: Atlanta Falcons Jell-O Shots

Recipe by Erica Pitera Cheer on the Falcons with some festive Jell-O shots.

Ingredients

24 plastic shot glasses
3 1/2 tbsp. grape Jell-O powder
3 1/2 tbsp. lime Jell-O powder
3 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
2 1/2 c. Cold vodka
Black food coloring
1/2 c. milk
1/8 c. granulated sugar
3 oz. box cherry Jell-O

Instructions

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