Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 18 oz Assorted Fruit Gelatin 3 oz each of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple
  • 6 tsp Unflavored Gelatin 1 tsp per color layer for firmness
  • 6 cups Boiling Water 1 cup per layer
  • 3 cups Blanco Tequila 1/2 cup per layer
  • 1.5 cups Cold Water 1/4 cup per layer
  • 1/2 cup Granulated White Sugar For coating
  • 2 tbsp Silver Edible Glitter Must be food-grade

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Glass Baking Dish Glass allows you to see layer thickness.
  • 24 Thin Wooden Popsicle Sticks For serving the wands.
  • 1 Sharp Chef's Knife Dip in hot water for clean cuts.

Method
 

Layering Process
  1. Starting with Purple, whisk the colored gelatin and 1 tsp unflavored gelatin with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until clear. Add 1/2 cup tequila and 1/4 cup cold water. Pour into the 9x13 dish.
  2. Refrigerate for 20-25 minutes. The surface should be tacky to the touch but not liquid.
  3. Repeat the process for Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and finally Red. Allow each mixture to cool slightly before pouring gently over the back of a spoon onto the previous layer.
Finishing the Wands
  1. Chill the full stack for at least 4 hours. Unmold and cut into 1x4 inch rectangles using a hot, sharp knife.
  2. Insert a wooden stick into the bottom (purple) end. Mix the sugar and silver glitter in a shallow bowl. Roll each wand in the mixture until heavily encrusted.

Notes

Ensure each layer is lukewarm before pouring to prevent melting the layer below.
Add the glitter sugar crust just before serving to maintain the crunch.
