Halloween Jello Shots
Description
These jello shots start by preparing a black cherry layer with black cherry gelatin powder dissolved in boiling cherry coke with optional black food coloring, mixed with cold cherry coke and vodka. This mixture is poured into shot glasses and chilled until partially set.
The orange layer is made by dissolving orange gelatin powder in boiling water, then mixing in cold water and vodka before pouring over the black cherry layer. The shots are chilled until fully firm, typically over 1 1/2 hours.
The layering creates distinct colored jello shots with a smooth texture and vibrantly flavored cherry and citrus notes combined with vodka. The recipe suggests using a turkey baster or measuring spoon for easier pouring into cups and chilling the cups on a sheet pan for stability.
These shots suit Halloween celebrations, serving about 20 two-ounce portions, and garnishing options like sprinkles or whipped cream add to their festive appeal.
