Ingredients

For the blue layer

3 ounce box blue Jello
1½ cups water divided use
½ cup vodka

For the white layer

2 packets unflavored gelatin .25 ounce size packets
2 cups cold water
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

For the red layer

3 ounce box red Jello
1½ cups water divided use
½ cup vodka

For garnish

1½ cups whipped cream or whipped topping
½ cup red white and blue sprinkles

Instructions

For the blue layer

Heat one cup of water until it's boiling.
Pour the boiling water into a bowl containing your blue Jello powder and whisk the mixture until the powder is completely dissolved.
Pour in 1/2 cup cold water and whisk until combined.
Pour in the vodka and whisk until thoroughly blended. Divide the Jello mixture evenly among 22 two-ounce shot cups, then chill for at least one hour.

For the white layer

Place the cold water in a pan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the pan to the stove and cook on low heat for 4-5 minutes until gelatin has melted.
Remove the mixture from the heat, then whisk in the condensed milk.
Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, then add a layer of white Jello on top of the blue Jello. You may have some white gelatin leftover, which you can pour into a bowl and chill separately for a snack!
Chill for at least one hour.

For the red layer

Heat one cup of water until it's boiling.
Pour the boiling water into a bowl containing your red Jello powder and whisk the mixture until the powder is completely dissolved.
Pour in 1/2 cup cold water and whisk until combined.
Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes. Add a layer of red jello on top of the white jello in each cup. Chill for at least one hour, or until all layers are set.

For garnish

Pipe or dollop a tablespoon of whipped cream onto each shot. Add some red white and blue sprinkles, then serve immediately.

Notes

It's important to make sure that each layer is set before you add the next color so that the layers don't run together.
Add the whipped cream and sprinkles right before serving.
I prefer the color and taste of strawberry Jello, but feel free to use a different red flavor such as cherry.
