A festive and visually stunning recipe for layered red, white, and blue jello shots with a creamy coconut milk white layer, perfect for patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Red Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) cherry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka or your favorite clear spirit
  • White Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) unflavored gelatin
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned coconut milk (full-fat)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka (or coconut rum)
  • Blue Layer: 1 package (3 oz / 85 g) blueberry or berry-flavored gelatin
  • 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vodka
  • Optional Garnish: Fresh blueberries or maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Layer: Dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stir until dissolved (about 2 minutes). Add ½ cup vodka and mix well. Pour about 1 tablespoon into each shot cup, filling one-third full. Refrigerate 30–40 minutes until firm but tacky.
  2. Make the White Layer: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water and let bloom 5 minutes. Warm coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk over low heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat, stir in bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Cool to room temperature, stir in ½ cup vodka. Spoon white layer over red layer, filling another third of each cup. Refrigerate 40–50 minutes until set but tacky.
  3. Prepare the Blue Layer: Dissolve blueberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, stir 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature, stir in ½ cup vodka. Gently pour blue layer over white layer, filling remaining space. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until fully set.
  4. Finishing Touches: Just before serving, garnish each jello shot with a fresh blueberry or maraschino cherry.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamy white layer for best texture. Chill each layer until tacky before adding the next to prevent color bleeding. Pour layers slowly over the back of a spoon. Can substitute vodka with rum, tequila, or flavored liqueurs. For non-alcoholic version, replace alcohol with sparkling water or cold water.
