4th of July Spiked Jello Shots are a must at your 4th of July party! Guests will love these red, white and blue jello shots. Three layers of spiked jello is a beautiful glass shot glass. Serve with min spoons and enjoy!
We use a basic formula for our jello shot recipe. It’s easy to make and even better to eat! This red, white and blue jello shot is served in a slanted shot glass from Crate and Barrel. Eat them with a spoon rather than “tossing” one back. It adds a little class and charm to the jello shot.
