Tips

You can modify most of these 4th of July shooters to include flavors that you love! If a recipe calls for a cup of vodka, you could use something flavored, like whipped cream vodka or blue raspberry vodka, instead. Or if it calls for rum, try coconut rum.

The plastic shot cups you use should be shorter and wider for ease of eating. Something that isn’t too rigid is best so you can lightly squeeze the sides to help the Jello shot slide out of the cup.

Place the Jello Shot Cups on a cookie sheet before putting in the refrigerator to chill. If you are making more than one batch you should be able to carefully stack a second cookie sheet on top of the first batch of cups.

While not all of these shots are made with red, white and blue ingredients, you can always top them with patriotic sprinkles to make them more theme appropriate.
