Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients: Jell-O, boiling water, cold water, vodka, lychees, blueberries, and food coloring.
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the lime Jell-O powder and stir well with a whisk until fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the Jell-O is dissolved, add cold water and vodka. Stir well for about 1-2 minutes.
- Place a lychee in each shot glass, then push a blueberry into the center of the lychee.
- Distribute the Jell-O mixture into the glasses around the lychee and blueberry, filling each shot ¾ full.
- To create a 'bloodshot' effect, dip a toothpick into the red food coloring gel and swirl it around in each shot.
- Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set completely.
- Once set, serve these delightful eyeballs on a spooky platter.
