Servings :10 jelly shots
Equipment
- Small plastic shot cups or mini dessert cups
- Jug(s) for mixing jelly
- Spoon or small ladle
Ingredients
- 1 packet red gelatin (strawberry, cherry, or raspberry)
- 1 packet 1 packet green gelatin (lime or apple)
- 2 cups boiling water (divided)
- 2 cups cold water or alcohol of choice (vodka, rum, or prosecco), divided
- Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions
Prepare the red layer:
- In a heatproof bowl, dissolve the red gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water or alcohol. Mix well.
Fill the cups:
- Pour the red jelly mixture into small plastic cups, filling each about halfway. Refrigerate for 1½–2 hours, or until mostly set but still slightly tacky on top.
Prepare the green layer:
- Dissolve the green gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water or alcohol.
Layer carefully:
- Slowly pour the green jelly over the partially set red layer, filling cups to the top. Refrigerate for another 2–4 hours, or until fully set.
Finish & serve:
- Just before serving, top each jelly shot with whipped cream and festive sprinkles.
Notes
Calories are calculated using sugar-free jelly and the alcohol-free version. Calories will vary depending on jelly brand, alcohol used, and toppings.
- Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved for a smooth texture.
- Let the first layer set slightly before adding the second to keep layers clean.
- Chill alcohol before using to help the jelly set properly.
- Keep refrigerated until serving so the jelly stays firm and the topping holds.
- Add whipped cream just before serving for best results.
