Print Recipe

Master the art of layered gelatin shots with this easy Halloween recipe. Achieve sharp, distinct orange, yellow, and white layers with a balanced vodka kick using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packets (approx. 1 oz/28g) unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) clear liquor (vodka recommended)
  • 1 small box (3 oz/85g) orange gelatin mix
  • 1 small box yellow gelatin mix
  • 1 packet (approx. 1/4 oz) unflavored gelatin for white layer
  • Splash of milk or cream (optional, for white layer opacity)
  • Gel-based food coloring (optional, for vibrancy)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve orange gelatin mix in 1/2 cup boiling water, whisking until clear. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup vodka. Cool to room temperature.
  2. Pour orange mixture into shot glasses, filling one-third full. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until completely set.
  3. Dissolve yellow gelatin mix in 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup vodka. Cool to room temperature.
  4. Check that orange layer is firm. Pour yellow mixture slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent mixing. Fill to two-thirds full. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set.
  5. Dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water, 1/4 cup vodka, and optional milk/cream. Cool to room temperature.
  6. Pour white mixture on top of the set yellow layer using the spoon technique. Fill to the brim.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set. Serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure each layer is completely set before adding the next to prevent colors from bleeding. Use gel-based food coloring if needed, as liquid coloring can weaken the gelatin structure. Keep alcohol-to-water ratio at no more than 1:1 to ensure proper setting. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
