Ingredients
2 (6-ounce) packages purple Jell-O, divided
2 c. cups boiling water, divided
2 c. vodka, divided
Black food coloring
Lime wedge, for rim
Black sanding sugar, for rim
Preparation
Step 1 In a large measuring cup, whisk together 1 package purple Jell-O and 1 cup boiling water until completely dissolved. Whisk in vodka. Fill shot cups halfway with mixture. Transfer to refrigerator to firm up, 2 to 3 hours.Step 2When shots are almost firm, make the second layer: In a large measuring cup, whisk together remaining package purple Jell-O and 1 cup boiling water until completely dissolved. Whisk in vodka and black food coloring. Step 3Pour black Jell-O mixture over each Jell-O shot and return to refrigerator to firm up, 2 to 3 hours more.Step 4Once Jell-O shot is firm, rim each shot glass with lime and dip in black sanding sugar.
To make sure the purple layer is set before you add your black layer, give it a test: Slowly turn one of the shot glasses upside down—if the Jell-O stays put, you’re good to go! If it’s still pretty jiggly, give it another 30 minutes.Want something to snack on with your shots? Make this ridiculously adorable mummy brie.
