These Patriotic Red, White And Blue Jello Shots Are A Party Standout

December 27, 2019 by Kelly 44 Comments

Because my husband drives a truck for a living, he is gone a lot. When a holiday comes around, we are always excited because we know he will be home. The 4th of July is a day where we just relax and hang out with the family. My husband wil grill out while the kids are playing in the yard. My task is to make the appetizers, sides and desserts. This year I am making these easy and fun Patriotic Red, White And Blue Jello Cups.

These 4thofJuly Patriotic Red, White & Blue Jello Shots are always a party stand out! Switch up the recipe for your next holiday party! Do purple, white & orange for Halloween or green, white & red for Christmas! bit.ly/2patjelloshots

These Patriotic Red, White And Blue Jello Cups are festive, low calorie and the kids absolutely love them. If you want to make an adult version, you can add a white liquor to the jello. This recipe is easier to make than you may think. When I first saw the recipe, I thought it would be a pain to pull off. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised!. It just takes a little patience and a steady hand and the results are well worth the effort.

4th of July Jello Cups

We discovered two things to watch for when making these Patriotic Red, White And Blue Jello Cups. Be sure the Jello is completely dissovled or your Jello will be super grainy. Yuck! The other thing is to watch the milk when you are cooking it. If the temperature gets too high and burns the milk, the taste will be off and the white color will be cloudy and yellow.

4th of July Jello Cups top

When you get to the top (red) layer, be sure to hold tight on the cherry stem when you are pouring your Jello into the cup. You want the stem to stands up in your Patriotic Red, White And Blue Jello Cups. This gives the appearance of a firecracker of sorts. It is super cute and you will be thrilled once they are ready to be eaten.

    These drinks are too pretty to drink ! They sound & look refreshing! These are certainly patriotic drinks.
    When us adults were given Jell-O shots, we needed a backup driver to take us home.
