These layered Red White & Blue Jello Shots are perfect for a summer party. Make a batch of American Flag Jello Shots for Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or whenever you're feeling especially patriotic.
On a tray or baking sheet, set out the jello cups & make sure you have enough room for it in the fridge.
To make the blue layer
In a large measuring cup with a spout (or a mixing bowl with a spout) add 1 cup of boiling water and your blue jello. Whisk until the jello is dissolved.
3 cups boiling water, 3 ounce berry blue jello
Next, add in ½ cup of cold water and ½ cup of vodka. Whisk again.

Carefully pour the mixture into the cups, ⅓ of the way up.
Place the tray with the cups in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the blue jello is firm.
To make the white layer
For the white layer in a measuring cup with a spout (or bowl with a spout) add 1/2 cup cold water and 2 packages of unflavored gelatin. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is thick.

Stir in 1 cup of boiling water and mix until dissolved.
Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup vodka. Let cool slightly and then pour on top of the blue layer until the cups are ⅔ full.

Notes
Make sure you have fridge space for trays or cookie sheets.
Allow time for each layer to fully set before adding the next.
Use 1 oz or 2 oz shot cups — 2 oz gives a larger portion.
Any red or blue Jello works great (cherry, strawberry, blueberry, etc.).
Easy to double or triple the batch for parties.
Add festive touches like star sprinkles, fresh berries, whipped cream, or Cool Whip.
Once set and covered with lids, they’re easy to transport in a cooler or insulated bag.
