Layered Red White & Blue Jello Shots ### Ingredients

1 box (3 oz) of red gelatin (strawberry or cherry flavor)
1 box (3 oz) of blue gelatin (blue raspberry flavor)
1 box (3 oz) of unflavored gelatin
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of cold water for each flavored gelatin
1 cup of whipped cream, for layers
1 cup of vodka (optional, for an adult version)

Instructions

Start by preparing the red layer. In a bowl, dissolve the red gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then mix in 1 cup of cold water and vodka (if using). Pour the mixture into shot glasses, filling each one about a third of the way. Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator and allow them to set for about 1 hour.
Once the red layer is set, prepare the white layer. Dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, then mix in 1 cup of cold water. Once fully combined, carefully spoon the unflavored gelatin mixture over the set red layer until each shot glass is filled to about two-thirds full. Return to the refrigerator to set, which should take another hour.
After the white layer has set, prepare the blue layer by repeating the same process as the red layer. Mix the blue gelatin with boiling water, then add cold water (and vodka if desired). Once the mixture is ready, fill the remainder of each shot glass with the blue layer and refrigerate until fully set.
Once all layers are set, top each Jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful finish. Serve chilled and enjoy the exciting bursts of flavor!

These layered Red White & Blue Jello Shots are a fun and creative way to add a splash of color to your summer festivities. With their vibrant appearance and delicious taste, they are sure to be a conversation starter at your next gathering.
