Get ready to impress your guests with a fun and festive treat that's perfect for any patriotic celebration! These Red, White, and Blue Jello Shots are not only visually stunning but also incredibly easy to make.
Similar to Our Flag themed rice krispie treats and Red, white and Blue Chocolate Bark, these jello cups are perfect for celebrating the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, or just want to add a splash of color to your party.
With vibrant red, white, and blue layers, they are as much a feast for the eyes as they are for the taste buds.
These layered jello shots can be made alcoholic or non-alcoholic. All you need is splash of vodka to make them boozy. I often make them both ways because kids love these treats for pool parties and holiday picnics.
Let’s dive into this delightful recipe that’s sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face!

Recipe FAQs
Absolutely! To make non-alcoholic jello shots, simply replace the vodka with an equal amount of cold water or fruit juice. You'll still get the same delicious layers and vibrant colors without the alcohol.
You can make these jello shots up to two days in advance. Just be sure to keep them refrigerated until you're ready to serve. Adding the whipped cream and sprinkles just before serving will ensure they look their best.
