- Add ½ cup of cold water to the berry blue jello and ½ cup vodka to the mixture and stir.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and line up the 2-ounce shot cups. Add the strawberry jello and berry blue jello mixture to the cups filling them all the way. You should have 9 cups of each color.

Notes
- When chilling and storing your 4th of July Jello Shots, you can line them all up on a baking sheet. If there are too many to leave in one layer, you can place the lids on the shots and stack them. Or put them on another baking sheet and set the baking sheet on top of the first layer.
- Wait to add the whipped cream and cherry to the shots until it's right before serving.
- You can layer both the Strawberry and Berry Blue Jello in one shot container if you want.
- If you want to add more vodka, be sure to read above in the FAQ section so you don't add too much and end up with Jello that won't set right.
