Patriotic Red White & Blue Jell-o Shots for the 4th of July
Looking for a fun, quick treat to make for the 4th of July? I’ve got you covered with my Red, White & Blue Jello Shots! Under 21? No problem, you can still make them alcohol-free!
RED WHITE & BLUE JELLO SHOTS
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Strawberry Jello Mix (you can also use a cherry or raspberry jello flavor)
- Blueberry Jello Mix (any berry blue jello flavor or blue gelatin works)
- Vodka (if you’re over 21)
- Whipped Cream
- Plastic Cups (instead of glass shot glasses)
I got my little plastic cups from BevMo, but you can use any small plastic cups. I just liked these because they come with lids and make it easy to travel with them.
You don’t even need to a stove for these bad boys, you can totally use a microwave.
How to Make
Step One: Heat up 2.5 Cups of Water. Either bring it to a boil or microwave it. Stir in your Strawberry Jello Mix. Make sure to stir until dissolved! Then, mix in 1.5 cups of Vodka. I used plain old vodka, but you can use flavored vodka too. Using a spoon or a small measuring cup, pour the jello mixture so that the red layer fills up half of your cup. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Step Two: Repeat step one, but with your Blueberry Jello Mix. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. Then, spoon the Blueberry Jello Mix on top for the blue layer. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Top with whipped cream!
If you’re not using alcohol for this Fourth of July treat, just follow the directions on the package but follow the steps above for layering!
Enjoy (responsibly) and have a happy holiday!
