Black Magic Shots

These shots are PERFECT for your next Halloween party—just make sure to give yourself plenty of time to prep them in advance. You want to make sure your purple layer is completely set before you pour the black layer on top. Test this by slowly turning a shot glass upside down: if the jell-o stays put, you're good to go!

INGREDIENTS

2 packages purple jell-o
2 c. cups boiling water, divided
2 c. vodka, divided
Black food coloring
Lime wedge, for rim
Black sanding sugar, for rim

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large measuring cup, whisk together 1 package purple jell-o and one cup boiling water. When jell-o powder has dissolved completely, whisk in vodka. Fill shot cups halfway with mixture, then set aside in refrigerator to firm up, 2 to 3 hours.

2. When shots are almost firm, make the second layer: In a large measuring cup, whisk together 1 package purple jell-o and one cup boiling water. When jell-o powder has dissolved completely, whisk in vodka and black food coloring. Top each Jell-O shot with black mixture and return to refrigerator to firm up, 2 to 3 hours more.

3. When jell-o is firm, rim each shot glass with lime and dip in sanding sugar. Serve.

Your Spooky night may start!
