USA Patriotic Inspired Jello Shots Recipe Directions:
Place 2 oz plastic cups into a baking sheet or cookie sheet / pan to keep them from sliding and spilling going to and from the refrigerator. If you run out of baking pans to use, I have also used muffin tins or any flat tray as well!
In a medium or small bowl, add cherry jello mix, then stir in 1 cup of boiling hot water. Once the Jello dissolves, add 1 cup of vodka, and stir the jello water mixture. Allow the mixture to cool for about 20 minutes, then pour into your jello shot plastic cups, filling them only a ⅓ of the way full. This part is really important so you do not run out of space for the other layers. This part of the fourth of july jello shot that is really important because it completes the red layer of these red white and blue jello shots.
Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. Do not rush this part of the process so the layers are clear and firm.
For the next layer, in a small or medium bowl add 2 packets of unflavored / or white gelatin jello mix. Stir in 2 cups of boiling water. Once gelatin is dissolved mix well. Allow to cool for 25-30 minutes. If it is too warm when added, the red jello will run so be patient with this step. Add the white jello mixture to the cups to create the white layer, filling another ⅓ of the way. Place in the refrigerator for another 2 hours to set.
In a medium bowl, add blue jello mix. Stir in 1 cup boiling water. Once dissolved, stir in 1 cup of vodka. Allow to cool for 25-30 minutes. Add the final blue layer, filling close to the top of the cups. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. The top of the fourth of july jello layers is the blue jello shots recipe piece. Now you are done!
Top your jello shots with whipped cream, patriotic sprinkles, maraschino cherries, or any other festive toppings you like to make this labor day, memorial day party, fourth of july or red white and blue themed party a big hit!
You can also make just a blue jell-o shots, red jello shot, and clear jello shot to have as back up if you want an easier alternative to have and serve after the red white and blue jello mixture shots are done!

These Memorial Day books for children are our favorite books to explain to our children the honor of Memorial Day in an age appropriate way.
