Notes
Allow each layer to fully set before adding the next layer to keep the colors distinct.
Pour slowly over the back of a spoon to help prevent the layers from mixing.
Adjust the alcohol amount based on preference, but too much vodka may prevent proper setting.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Consume responsibly because this recipe contains alcohol.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with juice or cold water.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
