Ingredients

For the black layer
  • 3 ounce box black cherry Jello
  • 1 1/2 cups Cherry Coke divided use
  • 4 drops black food coloring optional
  • 1/2 cup vodka
For the orange layer
  • 3 ounce box orange jello
  • 1 1/2 cups water divided use
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • whipped cream and Halloween sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

For the black layer
    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat one cup of Cherry Coke on the stove until it's boiling. Chill the remaining 1/2 of soda in the fridge.
  2. Pour the boiling soda into a medium bowl containing the black cherry gelatin and whisk the mixture until the powder is completely dissolved. Stir in the black food coloring if using.
  3. Pour in the 1/2 cup of cold Coke and whisk to combine.
  4. Add the vodka and whisk until thoroughly blended.
  5. Fill 20 two-ounce shot glasses or plastic cups halfway with the black Jello. Chill for at least one hour.
For the orange layer
  1. Place the orange Jello powder in a medium bowl. Boil one cup of the water on the stove, then pour the boiling water on top of the Jello.
  2. Whisk until the powder dissolves.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and whisk again.
  4. Stir in the vodka and whisk once more.
  5. Pour the orange Jello on top of the black Jello layer in the shot cups.
  6. Chill for at least 1 1/2 hours or until shots are firm.
  7. When you're ready to serve the shots, top them with some whipped cream and sprinkles, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Place your shot glasses or plastic cups on a sheet pan before placing the gelatin mixture in them. This makes it easy to carry the pan with all the Jello shots in the refrigerator.
  • To pour the Jello mixture evenly into the cups, try using a turkey baster to suction the liquid and squirt it in the containers. You can also use a measuring spoon.
