Lunch: Cleveland Browns Jell-O Shots

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

Ingredients

36 plastic shot glasses
3 oz. box orange Jell-O
5 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
3 c. cold vodka, divided
1 c. milk
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. brewed coffee
Black and navy blue food coloring*

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 box of 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 until it reaches a simmer. Add 1 cup of vodka and whisk together again. Place 1 tablespoon orange Jell-O mixture into each of your plastic shot glasses and place in fridge for about 30 minutes.
For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 2 envelopes gelatin over cup of milk and allow mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup 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.
For the brown layer: Place about 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and sprinkle 2 envelopes of gelatin over it, allowing it to sit for about one minute. Brew one cup of coffee and then combine hot coffee, gelatin mixture, 1/4 cup of sugar and whisk until smooth. Add 1 cup vodka and whisk together. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with about 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons brown gelatin mixture. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so Jell-O shots are completely set.
