Lunch: Dallas Cowboys Jell-O Shots

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

Ingredients

24 plastic shot glasses
2 12-count muffin tins
3 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
1 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. cold vodka, divided
3 oz. box berry blue Jell-O
Navy blue food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Prepare shot glasses by placing each one in an individual muffin tin cavity and leaning them at an angle so they’re tilted at about 45 degrees.
For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes 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 cup vodka and whisk again. Allow mixture to cool down, then add about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
For blue layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with blue Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together; heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and whisk together. Use a toothpick to add less than a drop of navy blue food coloring to the blue Jell-O. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, and turn all shot glasses so they’re upright again. Once cooled, fill each shot glass up until it is even with top edge of white layer (this will be about another 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons). Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so the Jell-O shots are completely set.
