Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka. Pour into a mold or container** and allow to set in the fridge, preferably overnight. Cut and shape different jello layers (e.g., orange for the crust, yellow for the cheese, and red for the pepperonis). **Note: thinner layers will set more firmly; recommend no more than 3/4 inch thick.
