Red White and Blue Jello Shots
These layered jello shots are easy to make but can be time consuming due to the layers having to be filled. Also, if you have time, set the shot glasses
out and on the counter for about 15 minutes after filling each layer. The jello will set up enough so you feel comfortable moving them to the refrigerator. Then refrigerate until completely firm.

I love that you include basic instructions-“Clear out space in the refrigerator for a pan.” “2 oz shot glasses”. Most recipes on the internet chatter too much about the author and forget to tell us details that make the difference.
