  • 2 cups vodka, divided

  • 4 cups boiling water, divided

  • 1 box berry blue gelatin dessert (3 oz)

  • 1 box strawberry red gelatin dessert (3 oz)

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

Pour the blue gelatin into a bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water, stir gently until completely dissolved.

Carefully pour the liquid into each of the shot glasses, filling ⅓ of the way. Chill for 1 hour or until the layer is set.

White Layer:

Pour the 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin to a mixing bowl and whisk in 2 cups of boiling water, dissolving the gelatin completely.

Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir well to incorporate. Cool for 10 minutes.

Carefully pour on top of the blue layer, dividing it among the glasses evenly. Then chill for 1 hour or until the layer is set.
