Lunch: Chicago Bears Jell-O Shots

Recipe by Erica Pitera Cheer on the Bears with some festive Jell-O shots.

Ingredients

24 plastic shot glasses
3 oz. box orange Jell-O
2 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
2 c. cold vodka, divided
3 oz. box berry blue Jell-O
Navy blue food coloring (optional)

Instructions

Before starting, line up all shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge.
For orange layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with orange 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 of vodka and whisk together. Place 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange Jell-O into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
For blue layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with blue Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin on top. Allow mixture to sit for 1 minute, then whisk everything together and heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk together. If you’re being very picky about team colors, add a drop or two of navy blue food coloring and mix well. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 2 tablespoons of blue Jell-O. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jell-O shots are completely set.
