What is Independence Day?

Independence Day (colloquial: the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4, 1776.

The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain and were now united, free, and independent states.

The Congress had voted to declare independence two days earlier, on July 2, but it was not declared until July 4.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

4th of July Jello Shots | Red, White, and Blue

Kid friendly or adult only, these red, white, and blue layered Jello Shots will be the hit of your summer party! Perfect for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day or if you are just feeling patriotic!

Recipe

1 3 oz. envelope of strawberry jello

Clear distilled liquor (try flavored vodka, rum, or tequila)

14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

1 envelope of unflavored gelatin

1 3 oz. envelope of berry blue jello

Directions:

Step 1

Starting with the red layer, combine 1 1/4 cup of hot water with red gelatin in a medium bowl.
Stir until the gelatin is dissolved
Add 3/4 cup of a spirit of your choice
Fill a shot glass 1/3 of the way full with the hot gelatin mixture, or pour into a baking dish.
Refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.

Step 2

(Some like to add a little vanilla or a spirit to this layer)

Once the red layer is set, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in 3/4 cup of hot water.
Stir in half of a 14 oz. can of condensed milk, and combine.
Pour over the red layer in your shot glasses or baking pan, and refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.

Step 3

As soon as the white layer is set, dissolve the berry blue flavored gelatin in 1 1/4 cup of hot water.
Stir in 3/4 cup of your choice of spirit, and top your shot glasses or baking dish.
Refrigerate for 60 to 90 minutes.

It's important to let each layer set so that it won't bleed into the following layer. If you used a baking sheet, cut your jello shots into patriotic shapes — or just go at it with a spoon. Either way, you can't lose.
