The fourth of July is only one week away. Since Covid-19 is still trying to put a damper on our festivities, these 4th of July Jello Shots are sure to bring the party to wherever you celebrate.

I think almost everyone has a jello shot story.

You know the one.

The one where you were hanging with your friends and someone brings out a tray full of Jello filled plastic cups spiked with alcohol.

You can usually fill in the blanks on the rest of the story.

One of those occasions in my life, was part of a trip to Fort Myers, Florida a couple years ago for a friend’s bachelorette party.

Since no one could decide on what flavor of Jello was best, we soon had a large variety of (super) strong gelatin concoctions.

Needless to say, we didn’t venture very far from the condo’s backyard pool that evening and what was planned as a fancy night out ended up being a cozy, fun-filled night in.

We played board games, charades, and ordered far too much pizza.

It ended being one of the best evenings of the trip!

Now about these beautiful and festive treats.

Please don’t be intimidated by there looks.

Because if you can boil water, you can make these jello shots.

You just have to have a little patients and let each layer completely “set” before starting on the next color.

Since jello shots keep for a long time, go ahead and make these a day or two in advance of the 4th. This way you can have a fuss-free time with friends.

Serving up a tray full of these will ensure that the fireworks aren’t the only thing getting “lite” on the 4th!

Ingredients

Blue Jello Layer

  • 1 box (3 oz) Berry Blue Jello
  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 3/4 cup Cold Water
  • 1/4 cup Vodka

White Layer

  • 1 envelope Unflavored Gelatin Powder
  • 1 cup Cold Water
  • 1/2 cup Boiling Water
  • 1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

Red Jello Layer

  • 1 box (3 oz) Cherry Jello
  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 3/4 cup Cold Water
  • 1/4 cup Vodka

Instructions

Blue Jello Layer

  1. Into a mixing bowl (preferably one with a pour spout) add the berry blue jello.

  2. Whisk in the boiling water until the jello is completely dissolved.

  3. Next, add the cold water and vodka to the jello. Stir to combine.

  4. Fill the 2 ounce plastic cups 1/3 of the way full with the blue jello. Refrigerate the jello for 1 hour or until set.

White Layer

  1. Into a mixing bowl (preferably one with a pour spout) add the gelatin powder.

  2. Whisk in the cold water until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

  3. Pour the boiling water into the bowl and whisk to combine.

  4. Add in the sweetened condensed milk. Stir to combine.

  5. Pour the white layer on top of the set blue layer. Then refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.

Red Jello Layer

  1. Into a mixing bowl (preferably one with a pour spout) add the cherry jello.

  2. Whisk in the boiling water until the jello is completely dissolved.

  3. Next, add the cold water and vodka to the jello. Stir to combine.

  4. Top off each of the jello shots with the red layer, using it to fill the last 1/3 of plastic cups.

  5. Refrigerate the jello for 2-3 hours or until completely set.

  6. Cover with lids and stack in the fridge until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

  • If you want your jello shots a little stronger, increase the vodka amount to 1/2 cup and decrease the cold water amount to 1/2 cup for the blue and red jello layers.
  • Use your favorite kind of vodka- I make these with a Peach Vodka by a local distillery called Lonely Oak. Their North Forty Peach Flavored Vodka is the BEST!
  • Line up the plastic cups on a baking tray. It makes for much easier transportation between the counter to fill and the fridge to chill/set.

And if you are a Catholic or just looking for a meatless option or two for the next few weeks, here is a roundup of some of my favorites that have been shared on the blog.

A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @aut A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @authorsarahadams to me this past week and let me say it was the perfect pre- Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day read that I couldn’t put down and ended up finishing in a day.

I don’t know if I’ve read a book where I caught myself smiling from cover to cover.

It was sweet (almost cavity inducing), WITTY, deliciously flirty, hard to put down, charming, with great comedic timing, and sexy! 

It’s a friends to lovers and fake dating tropes that is right up any Hallmark lover’s alley with a side helping of NFL. 

I found myself laughing out loud, cheering from the sidelines, and BLUSHING 😊. A touchdown in my book! 🏈
May your coffee be STRONG 💪🏼 and your Monday May your coffee be STRONG 💪🏼 and your Monday be SHORT!

I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️
Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower garden for years- but I hear it’s  finicky and slow to germinate. You’ll fail far more than you will succeed. 

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜

Just as delicious without all the turkey gravy as it is with!

One of my favorite verses in the Bible and with our first frost of the year expected tonight, I’m taking @floretflower advice and with this last bucket of blooms, savoring the beauty that is Summer on the farm. 

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜

Also… shoutout to one of my favorite new finds on Insta… @philipbowenmusic on the strings (seriously this dude is super talented!)

I’ve enjoyed going through this experience with her, including random texts and Snapchats of hormonal cries, nesting episodes, and of course, food cravings- which is how the baby earned the nickname of “Scoops”. 

A few weeks ago, out of the blue, I get a message that simply said- lemon bars. I guess when food cravings hit, they hit hard. So what is a best friend to do, but find my recipe for these Easy Homemade Lemon Bars.
