Celebrate Memorial Day or the 4th of July with these patriotic red, white, and blue jello shots! These festive layered jello shots are a real party favor and are ridiculously easy to make.
Place the jello cups onto a baking sheet for easy movement and clean up. Set aside.
Blue Layer
Add the blue jello to a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir until fully dissolved (approx. 3 min). Pour in 1 cup pineapple rum or vodka and stir until combined.
Pour the jello into each jello cup, filling 1/3 of the way. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, or until the jello is set.
White Layer
Add 2 packets of unflavored gelatin to a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water and give it a quick stir. Let sit for 3 minutes so the gelatin can "bloom". (*Note 2) Stir in 1 cup of cold water.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Gently pour the jello onto the set blue layer, filling 2/3 of the way from the top. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, or until the gelatin is set.
Red Layer
Add the red jello to a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir until fully dissolved (approx. 3 min). Pour in 1 cup pineapple rum or vodka and stir until combined. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Gently pour the jello onto the set white layer, filling to the top. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, or until the jello shot is set.
Garnish and Serve
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Right before serving, add whipped cream and sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes
Note 1 - Use any rum or vodka flavor you like. Pineapple rum works great here.Note 2 - "Blooming" allows the water to touch each bit of gelatin allowing it to thicken. Nutritional information is estimated!
