Fill each shot glass half full of the gelatin/vodka mixture.

Using toothpicks or a small spoon, place a small amount of the food coloring gel on the end of a toothpick, and stir a different color of the food coloring gel into the cups (i.e., Neon Pink, Aqua, Yellow, and Green.  You can make these any color you choose, or all one color if you prefer). 

Step 4. Place in the refrigerator for an hour to set. 

Step 5. Remove from the refrigerator, and fill shot glasses with remaining gelatin.

Using toothpicks, place a small amount of the food coloring gel on the end of the toothpick, and color the top layer in an opposite color, to make the jello shots appear to be tie-dyed.  

Step 6. Place back in the refrigerator to set completely, at least 2 hours for best results. 

Step 7. Serve, and enjoy!

Makes 12 Jello Shots.

NOTE:  Place a small amount of the food coloring gel on the end of a toothpick to color the gelatin mixture. You can use more food coloring gel, and make the shots bright, or less and make them pastel. Place just one color on the end of a toothpick, using one toothpick per color.
