Ingredients
Scale
- 1 6-Ounce Box Lime Jello
- 2 1/2 Cups Boiling Water
- 1 1/2 cups Vodka
- 1 Drop Brown Gel Food Dye
- Gold Star Sprinkles
- Red Sanding Sugar
Items Needed:
- 20 2-Ounce Jello Shot Cups
- Pourable Container (I use a pourable glass measuring cup)
Instructions
- Place the jello and the boiling water in a medium or large mixing bowl. Stir until the jello is dissolved.
- Add the vodka and stir again.
- Pour 2 ounces of the jello into a separate glass or small bowl. Add the drop of brown dye and stir. Add more brown dye if needed, but one drop should be plenty.
- Pour the brown jello into one of the jello shot cups.
- Fill the rest of the 19 cups with the green jello.
- Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or until set.
- Assemble in the shape of a Christmas tree starting with one cup, the second line has one cup, the third line will have two cups, fourth line three cups, lines five through seven will have four cups each, and the last line will be the one brown cup that goes in the bottom middle.
- Place the star sprinkles in the top, first cup, then sprinkle 5 random green cups with the red sanding sugar to signify ornaments on the tree.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not garnish if storing in the fridge. Only garnish when ready to serve.
- If you would like to make these ahead of time, you’ll want to place the lids on them and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days in advance. Do not freeze.
- Do not fill these all the way to the top if you are planning on storing them in the fridge as the lid will make little divots in the top of the jello, which makes it look bad.
- You can use flavored vodka, if you prefer.
