Instructions
-
Make the Red Layer:
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the cherry or strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add tequila, blue curaçao, and cold water. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into mini plastic condiment cups, filling each about halfway. Place the cups on a tray and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the gelatin is set. -
Make the Blue Layer:
Once the red layer is firm, dissolve the blue raspberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add peach schnapps, sloe gin (or coconut rum), and cold water. Mix thoroughly.
Gently pour the blue mixture on top of the red layer in each cup. Return to the fridge and chill for another 2 to 4 hours until fully set.
-
Top and Serve:
Just before serving, add a swirl of whipped cream on top. Garnish with gummy bears or themed candies, and insert decorative picks if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
-
Use a measuring cup with a pour spout for easy, mess-free filling.
-
Let each layer fully set before adding the next to avoid color blending.
-
Make them up to 5 days in advance—just wait to add whipped cream until right before serving.
-
To make non-alcoholic: swap the liquor for fruit juice or sports drinks with similar colors.
-
If blue curaçao isn’t available, use triple sec with a drop of blue food coloring.
-
These are great for themed parties, especially 4th of July, Smurf birthdays, or retro nights.
