It is just about time. The day in which we celebrate our freedom and the soldiers who provide it for us. A day full of grilling, drinking, fireworks, camping and spending time with friends and family. Most of us have Independence Day traditions, one of mine is to make new 4th of July shots or drinks for everyone try. A pretty fun tradition, I know!

Just like fireworks there have been some beauties and some duds, but I really outdid myself this time with these Cake Vodka Milkshake Shots. But I can’t take full credit for the concoction as I got the idea from the Tipsy Bartender on Instagram. This is a great after lunch dessert shot as it has ice cream and tastes like cake! Any recipe that I get to use redi whip is a good recipe in my books.

One thing to remember since these shots will be using ice cream, is to let each layer harden so the colors don’t mix together. You really can’t go wrong whipping this quick shot up for your friends and family, it will make for just one more reason to love the 4th of July and America!
