Arizona Cardinals Jello Shots!

 Greeting Fellow Football Fans!

 The 2016 Football season will be here before we know it- Woo Hoo! This is the time of year that I attempt to plan as much in advance as possible for tailgates, home viewing parties, and any other get together. Here I will give the ingredients and directions to make your own AZ Cards festive Jello Shots.-(You can also change the colors for any team). I found this how-to from the good folks over at Delish dot com and it was too fun not to share! OK, here we go!

INGREDIENTS:

• 24 plastic shot glasses
• 3 1/2 tbsp. grape Jell-O powder
• 3 1/2 tbsp. lime Jell-O powder
• 3 envelopes Knox plain gelatin, divided
• 2 1/2 c. Cold vodka
• Black food coloring
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/8 c. granulated sugar
• 3 oz. box cherry Jell-O

DIRECTIONS:

1.) 

1. Before starting, line up all shot glasses on one or two cookie sheets that will fit nicely in your fridge.

2.) 

1. For black layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup water with grape Jell-O and lime Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope of 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. Add several drops of black food coloring and mix well. Place 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of black Jello mixture into each plastic shot glass and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

3.) 

1. For white layer: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin over milk and allow mixture to sit for 1 minute. Add sugar and whisk everything together; heat on medium until it reaches a simmer. Add 1/2 cup vodka and whisk again. Wait for the white gelatin mixture to cool down to room temperature before layering (it can cause the colors to melt and bleed otherwise), then add about 2 teaspoons of white mixture to each shot glass. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes.

4.) 

1. For red layer: In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup of water with cherry Jell-O and sprinkle 1 envelope of 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. Allow mixture to cool down to room temperature, then top off each shot glass with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the red Jell-O. Refrigerate again for at least 3 hours before serving so the Jell-O shots are completely set.

There you have it! I hope you have a Blast making these and they impress all of your guests! Please feel free to share your pics with me on Instagram @arizonaladybirds or use the hashtag #AZLadyBirds Til next time-- GO CARDINALS!
