Ahhhh, the Fourth Of July. It's one of my favorite holidays. It's a great day to spend with your friends and family while also giving thanks for those who were responsible for giving us our Independence. Of course I love the parades and the fireworks, but I always take a moment to remember that this isn't just another paid day off of work, it's something bigger...
But since it is a paid day off of work, Drew and I always throw our big annual Freedom Bash!
So we round up all of our friends and get a little loose over at our house. There is always tons of meat and corn on the grill, plenty of competition (bags in the backyard, volleyball in the frontyard, a little basketball up and down the driveway...) and jello shots. Yes, jello shots. You're never too old for jello shots!
Although I am still learning my way around kitchen, I have had this recipe perfected since my ol' college days!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 three oz packet of jello
Directions:
- Place the packet of jello mix in a bowl
- In a pot, boil water over stove
- Pour boiling water over jello and mix with a spoon until disolved
- Let water/jello mixture sit until it is room temperature. Once cool, add vodka.
- Now pour that delicious mix into disposable cups and put in the fridge for at least 4 or 5 hours until firm
Keep in mind that this recipe is just for the smaller size (3 oz) packages of jello. For a big party, you want to double, even TRIPLE, this. For this recipe I used Berry Blue and Strawberry.
That's it! Simple, easy, and a huge crowd pleaser.

Mmm, when should we be there??
I can't believe I've never had a jello shot. I'm going to have to try these soon!
This right here is why I believe we are soul mates.
LOVE jello shots. I make them for every occasion possible. Christmas too. They are the perfect party pleaser.
