Jello Shots are the perfect treat for a 4^th of July party and these 4^th of July themed gourmet Jello Shot recipes will make your 4^th of July party shine. After all, what 4^th of July party guest can resist Jello Shots with names like American Flag, Firecracker and Uncle Sam and others.

First you will need something to hold and serve your 4^th of July Jello Shots. I find that disposable cups with lids, like 2 ounce soufflé cups, work well. You can choose to use paper cups, twisting shot cups or even empty syringes. When using the plastic cups for Jello Shots, lightly coat the inside of the Jello Shot cup with non-stick spray so your Jello Shots will slide out easily.
