Ingredients
36 plastic shot glasses
3 1/2 tbsp. grape Jell-O powder
2 3-oz boxes lime Jell-O
3 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
3 c. cold vodka, divided
Black food coloring
1 c. milk
1/4 c. granulated sugar
Navy food coloring
Preparation
Step 1Before starting, line up all shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge. Step 2For black layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with grape Jell-O and 3-1/2 tablespoons of lime Jell-O, and sprinkle 1 envelope of 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 vodka and whisk together. Add a few drops black food coloring and mix well. Place 1 tablespoon black Jell-O mixture into each plastic shot glass and place fridge for about 30 minutes.Step 3For 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. Wait for white gelatin mixture to cool down to room temperature before layering (it can cause colors to melt and bleed otherwise), then add about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Step 4For green layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with lime Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk together. Use a toothpick to add less than a drop of navy blue food coloring to green mixture to achieve that dark blue-green Eagles color. Add color slowly or else it will just turn blue! Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoon of the green Jell-O. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jell-O shots are completely set.
