It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, and that means it’s time to let the good times roll! If you’re looking for a festive way to celebrate this year, why not make some Irish Flag Jello Shots? These delicious (and boozy!) treats are easy to make and bring a bit of color and fun to your St. Patrick’s Day party. Let’s look at how to make them!

The ingredients for your Irish flag jello shots are very simple. Gather an envelope of clear Knox gelatin, lime and orange gelatin, water, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, and special green glitter pearl sprinkles. Once you have all your ingredients together, get ready for a fun time. If you want to make these boozy, you can add your favorite rum!

How to Make St. Patrick’s Day Gelatin Shots

You will need about 25 minutes to prepare this treat, and then, of course, let them sit in the refrigerator for about 8 hours.

You’re going to make layers of gelatin. So, first, prepare the green layer. Boil one cup of water with two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. Mix in green jello mix into the boiling water. Whisk well. Add one cup of cold water. If adding in rum use 1/2 cup rum and 1/2 cup cold water. Whisk well.

Pour the green layer into 1/3 of the cup. Place a lid on top of the jello shot cups and pop them into the fridge for two hours or until set.

For the second white layer. Boil one cup of water with two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. Mix one envelope of clear gelatin Knox into the hot water and whisk well. Add one cup of cold water. Whisk well.

Pour the white layer into the next 1/3 of the jello shot cup on top of the green layer. Pop into the fridge for two hours or until set.

For the last orange layer. Boil one cup of water with two tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. Mix in orange jello mix into the hot water and whisk well. Add one cup of cold water. Whisk well.

Pour the orange layer into the last 1/3 of the jello shot cup on top of the white layer. Pop into the fridge for two hours or until set.

When ready to serve top with whipped topping and green glitter pearl sprinkles.
