Place 1 tablespoon black Jell-O mixture into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.Step 3For gold layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with box of lemon Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top.

Add 1 cup vodka and use a toothpick to add less than a drop of orange food coloring and whisk again. Allow Jell-O to cool to room temperature, then add about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon gold mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
