Tropical Coconut Rum Jello Shots

Today I’ve got a super fun Jello Shots recipe that is not only tasty but will have you feeling like you are on an island. This tropical coconut rum jello shots are so good and easy to make!

Now that everyone is officially back outside and having fun, I think it’s a great time to come back to a party favorite–jello shots!

The best thing about jello shots is that that are usually insanely easy to make. All you need is the jello, some kind of alcohol and maybe a little fruit to make it extra fun.

What are tropical Jello Shots?

Tropical Jello Shots are an easy, fun and flavorful type of shot that incorporates flavors from all over the tropics! We use a blend of coconut rum, pineapple juice, lime juice and flavored jello to create this delicious combination. These shots often have a tropical yellow or orange hue with white specks throughout.

Ingredients:

• 3oz Box Pineapple Jello
• 1 Cup Water
• 1 Cup Coconut Rum
• Cherries
• Condiment Cups (Dollar Tree, Walmart)

The possibilities are endless, and it is a relatively cheap and tasty treat! You can get the condiment cups from Amazon, Dollar Tree or your local grocery store. Keep in mind though that the Jello will need to set for a while if not overnight, so a bit of pre preparation is necessary for this recipe.

Where is a good place to serve these jello shots?

These jello shots are perfect for any summer party – pool parties, bonfires, BBQs, you name it! When served up in their individual condiment cups, they make for a fun and festive presentation.

Can you make these treats ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely make these jello shots ahead of time. Just be sure to keep them refrigerated until serving. This way they will stay nice and cold and won’t melt before it’s time to enjoy!
