I had trouble with the top layer jelling. I ended up having to scrape it off and just put whipped cream for that layer. They were a hit at the party. Next time I would add orange food coloring to the orange jello. You had to hold them to the light to see the different colors. Read More

These were a HUGE hit! I recommend doubling the recipe for the yellow and making the yellow layer fairly thick in the cup. I poured such a thin layer you could barely see the difference between the orange and yellow layers. Also, for the orange layer we used mandarin flavored vodka. Read More

Overall great but I'm not an expert gelatin maker. It took me a re-do on the top layer to get it right. I heated up the liquor a bit added it with the warm water to the unflavored gelatin then strained any thicker gelatin chunks out before adding the warmed milk to it. This fixed my problem but preparing it as the directions read I ended up with chunks of gelatin in the sweetened milk that I could pour off the other layers. Read More

Overall, the shot is great looking and a hit! I used Tito's vodka and Cruzan light rum. By the recipe steps, the top layer ended up being a failure. Looked at other comments and one was helpful: For top white layer- use 2 TBSP BOILING HOT water (not "warm"like recipe says) Add unflavored gelatin and stir for a few minutes until it's dissolved and smooth like water. Add 1/2 cup of rum, heated for 15 to 20 seconds in microwave, or do briefly on a pot on stovetop. Add can of sweetened condensed milk, heated 20 seconds in microwave-safe dish in microwave Also, if you have a cooking syringe or a turkey baster it will make the layering process faster and more accurate. Everyone, liked the shots but a few people didn't like the softer texture of the top layer. It was just a slightly different texture from the sweetened condensed milk. Read More

Turned out great! Although be sure to stir the gelatin a long time for it to dissolve properly! Read More

These were awesome! I don't like vodka so I used Silver Tequila for the lemon jello and for the condensed milk and for the orange jello I used Triple Sec. They tasted like very strong margarita's! Read More

The yellow and orange were very strong and the top layer never set. I'm making again but trying a little less alchohol. I'm try 3/4 instead of a cup each. Read More
