Our Favorite Red, White and Boozy Fourth of July Cocktails

Red, White and Blue Jello Shots

It's no secret that, here at Brit HQ, we love a good jello shot. So naturally, Independence Day called for whipping up a patriotic batch! (via Brit + Co)

Strawberry Basil Margarita

Nothing cools you off on a hot summer day quite like a refreshing marg. This strawberry-basil version has the perfect red hue for the Forth of July. (via Brit + Co)

Red, White and Blue Wine Spritzer

White wine spritzers are a classic summer beverage for a reason. Add some blue and red and you've got yourself a killer cocktail for America's birthday. (via pretty plain janes)

Snow Cone Drinks

This drink is equal parts nostalgia and party-in-a-glass. Slightly on the sweeter side, we wouldn't have too many or you can expect a killer hangover on the 5th. (via Kirbie's Cravings)

Pink Champagne Sangria

For some reason, we don't often think of bubbly when we go to make our sangria recipes. This recipe is about to change that forever. (via The Cookie Rookie)

Shandies

It wouldn't be a true July 4th shindig without an ice cold beer, now would it? Take your brew to the next level with this refreshing shandy recipe. (via Camille Styles)

Watermelon Blueberry Cooler

The only thing better than watermelon on a hot summer night is a delicious watermelon cocktail. (via Tasty Trials)

Blueberry Coconut Sparkler

Fresh blueberries, coconut rum and ginger ale combine to make a festive drink with just the right hint of tropical paradise. The coconut flakes on the rim are a fun final touch. (via Spiced)

Purple Independence

Who says everything's gotta be red, white and blue? This cocktail's color makes it a little bit of (delicious) rebellion in a glass and a pretty addition to your table. (via A Year of Cocktails)

Bomb Pop Jello Shots

There's just something about the 4th of July that brings out the big kid inside all of us. These popsicle-inspired shots are the perfect way to indulge. (via That's So Michelle)

Star Spangled Spritzer

This fruity summer drink is easily made non-boozy by swapping out the white wine for ginger ale, making it a great option for a family-friendly affair. Just make sure to clearly mark your pitchers before serving! (via Celebrating Everyday Life)

Patriotic Panna Cotta Shooters

Bring on the stars and stripes! We love a goodspiked sweet and this gorgeous panna cotta definitely hits the spot. (via Sprinkle Bakes)

Blackberry Gin and Tonic

This fresh twist on an oldie-but-goodie adds some pop to your bar and some flag-inspired color to your glass. (via Nutmeg Nanny)

Watermelon Sparkler

These drinks look gorgeous and the ombre effect is surprisingly simple to achieve, while the basic recipe and instructions are easy to customize to your personal taste. (via TikkiDo)

Fruity Ice Drinks

Creative ice cubes are a great way to get any party going. After all, what better way to kick off the 4th than with a patriotic champagne toast? (via Mom.com)

Sugar Cookie Pudding Shots

These layered shots are sweet and fun, and the amaretto flavor is the perfect compliment to the pudding. And how adorable are those cookie stars? (via Jelly Shot Test Kitchen)

Pop Rocks Rimmed Cocktails

Pop Rocks are like fireworks for your mouth, so what better way to sweeten and garnish that Independence Day cocktail? (via Pizzazzerie)

Patriotic Celebration

Density is the key to the layered effect drink, but the key to the celebration is the cake vodka — happy birthday, America! (via A Year of Cocktails)
