A cocktail that’s beautiful, patriotic, and easy to make? Say no more. These 4th of July jello shots have us hooked. 

Summertime is in full swing, which means it’s time to fire up the grill, lather on the sunscreen, and – most importantly – grab a cocktail (for hydration purposes, obviously!). Here at HelloFresh, we love sipping on fruity sangria or pineapple margaritas. And don’t even get us started about watermelon (if it’s involved in any form, we’re practically drooling). 

But because July 4 is around the corner, we thought we’d whip up something extra special. After all, America only turns 240 once.

Say jello to the most patriotic cocktail you’ve ever laid eyes on…
