Ingredients

Scale
  • Red Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) cherry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
  • White Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk (full-fat recommended)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite or 7UP)
  • Blue Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) blueberry or blue raspberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: Dissolve cherry-flavored gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add ½ cup cold water and mix well. Pour into small cups or molds filling about one-third full. Refrigerate 30-40 minutes until firm but tacky.
  2. Prepare the White Layer: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir thoroughly, add ½ cup cold water. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and lemon-lime soda until smooth. Gently spoon or ladle over red layer. Refrigerate 30-40 minutes until set but tacky.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Dissolve blueberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved, add ½ cup cold water. Pour gently over white layer. Chill at least 1 hour until completely firm.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Let jello shots sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Use a small spoon or toothpick to enjoy.

Notes

Use room temperature cold water to avoid gelatin clumping. Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to keep layers distinct. Chill each layer until firm but tacky before adding the next to prevent mixing. Sweetened condensed milk adds creamy texture; substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free version. Agar-agar can be used for vegan version but follow package instructions. Prepare up to 2-3 days ahead and keep refrigerated. Do not freeze.
