I still remember the first time I dropped one of these red, white, and blue Jell-O cubes into a drink at our Fourth of July party. The look of surprise when someone realized, “Wait… it’s not melting?!”—priceless! They won’t water down your drink. Just good vibes and a whole lotta jiggle!
Why I love this recipe
I have to say, these red, white & blue Jell-O ice cubes are such a crowd-pleaser. They look amazing in any drink and the moment someone realizes they’re not ice but Jell-O? Instant smiles. They are one of those little things that feel super impressive but take hardly any work. Honestly, that alone makes them worth it.

Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need to make these fun and festive Jell-O cubes. Nothing fancy. Just a few boxes of Jell-O and some water!
- summer berry punch gelatin
- berry blue Jell-O
- strawberry Jell-O
Step by step
- Prepare each box of gelatin according to the package directions. Keep the amount of boiling water the same, but reduce the amount of cold water by half.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into silicone molds or silicone ice cube trays and freeze until solid, for at least 4 hours.
- Carefully remove the frozen gelatin cubes and place them in a glass.
- Top with lemon-lime soda or ice-cold water, and enjoy!
Tips for Best Results
- Use silicone molds for easy removal. Plastic trays can crack or break when popping out the cubes.
- Follow the water measurements closely. Reducing the cold water as instructed helps the cubes set more firmly.
- Be patient with freezing time. Give them at least four hours to fully solidify.
- Remove gently. Wiggle the molds slowly to keep the cube shapes looking their best.
- Add some creativity. Layer different colors in the molds for a fun tie-dye effect.
Variations
One of the best things about these is how easy it is to customize them! Match the Jell-O colors to your event maybe red and green for the holidays or a colorful rainbow spread for a birthday party. Adding in small chunks of fruit before freezing makes each cube a little burst of flavor.
Storage
After you make them, just toss the cubes into a freezer-safe container with a tight lid and store in the freezer. They’ll keep well for about a week. I like to prep them the night before I need them so they are fresh and colorful.
