recipe: rainbow jello shots

blueberry - raspberry - orange
i saw 5-color rainbow jello shots on i -think- foodgawker.com, and they were one of the most amazing things i'd ever seen in my life. i could only find shot-glass sized clear cups so only had enough space for 3 colors, but i think that's fine b/c the more colors = the more time it takes to make (i'm a little lazy lately, sorry). with 3 boxes of jello i made 45-48 lil shots.

to make: follow instructions on jello box 1... instead of using the 1 cup of cold water in the recipe, use 1 cup of COLD vodka (i used Svedka. this 1 cup of vodka nets out to a 50/50 mix of water/vodka since the jello powder is stirred into 1 cup of hot water. any more vodka = issues getting the jello to gel (jell?), so this is about the ideal ratio. the scientific rational behind that can be found here.) after you fill the first layer into the cups, refrigerate overnight then repeat layer 2 the next day, etc until you have all layers in. boom, adorable!
