Things You’ll Need

24 to 28 disposable plastic ramekins with lids
2 colors (3oz each) of Jell-O
2 cups chilled vodka
2 to 3 cups boiling water
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (if making a white layer)
1 cup chilled pina colada mix (if making a white layer)

Find out team colors here! And then adjust, mixing food coloring to make it as close a match to your team's jerseys.

Step 1: Set Up a Tray

Add ramekins to a rimmed baking sheet for easy transport.

Step 2: Boil Water and Jell-O

Add the color Jell-O (3 ounces) you want to use for the first layer in a large measuring cup (for ease of poring) or bowl. Stir in 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved.

Step 3: Add Vodka

Stir in the chilled vodka.

Step 4: Pour into Cups

Add about 1/2 inch of Jell-O to each cup. Chill until set, about 2 hours.

Tip

Don't like vodka? Use rum or tequila! Works just as well.

Step 5: Make the White Layer (Optional)

If making a white layer (Jell-O doesn't offer a white flavor), try this: add the unflavored gelatin in a large measuring cup (for ease of poring) or bowl. Stir in 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved.

Step 6: Add the Pina Colada Mix

Add the chilled pina colada mix, stir until well combined.

Step 7: Pour Over the First Layer

Pour about 1/2 inch over the chilled first layer, chill until set. Unflavored gelatin will set a bit faster than typical Jell-O and should be ready in about 30 minutes. Do not proceed until it has set.
