How to make Shamrock Shots
Prepare the Jello Shots
- Step 1
Wash the mini mason jars and thoroughly dry them.
- Step 2
Make blue Jello according to package directions, adding 1/4 cup vodka. Fill each cup 1/4 of the way and refrigerate for two hours.
- Step 3
Repeat the process with cherry flavored Jello.
- Step 4
In a large bowl, pour 2 envelopes of plain gelatine, 3/4 cup hot water, and 1/4 cup cold water. Mix to combine.
- Step 5
In a separate bowl, add sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup hot water. Whisk to combine.
- Step 6
Very carefully pour the milk mixture into the gelatine mixture and stir to combine.
- Step 7
Pour the white layer on top of the set layers. Return to the refrigerator to completely set for about 2 hours.
Decorate and Assemble
- Step 1
Measure and cut pieces of burlap to fit around terracotta pots. Glue them on using a hot glue gun or Gorilla Glue.
- Step 2
Fill an equal amount of terracotta pots to match the number of mini mason jars with Lemonheads.
- Step 3
Remove mini mason jars from the refrigerator. Bend the sour candy into rainbows and place one side into the jello shot. Link by placing the other end of the candy rainbows into cups containing Lemonheads.
- Step 4
Decorate the serving tray or serving table with Lucky Charms and more 'gold' (Lemonheads).
