Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots Ingredients
- Jello mix - strawberry jello mix
- Lime juice - freshly squeezed lime juice
- Rum - white rum
- Strawberries - whole strawberries, as large as you can find
- Sugar - granulated sugar, garnish
- Lime - lime wedges
- Water
The number of jello shots you can make with this recipe will depend on the size of the strawberries and the hollowed-out area. Unless the strawberries are gigantic, the inside of the strawberries won’t hold much more than a couple of teaspoons of jello.
Almost as easy to make as regular jello, you're essentially substituting the alcohol and lime juice for the cold water portion of the standard jello recipe. If you want to make your strawberry daiquiri jello shots recipe a bit stronger you can completely eliminate the cold water and use 1 cup boiling water, ¼ cup lime juice, and ¾ cup rum.
To save time, and dishes, you can boil the 1 cup of water in the microwave, in the same glass where you mix everything up. Also, if you don’t have freshly squeezed lime juice on hand, bottled lime juice can be substituted in this tasty recipe.
How to Make Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots
FIRST STEP: In a medium bowl or large (4-cup) measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the strawberry jello mix and 1 cup of boiling water until the jello is fully dissolved.
SECOND STEP: Once the jello is fully dissolved, stir in the cold water, lime juice, and rum. Mix until combined.
THIRD STEP: Use a strawberry corer or sharp paring knife to cut the stem from each strawberry and hollow out a bit of a cavity to fill with the jello. Shave off just a bit from the bottom of each strawberry so that it can stand up.
FOURTH STEP: Carefully pour the jello mixture into each strawberry. You can use a food syringe or a squirt bottle, or simply pour with a steady hand.
FIFTH STEP: Transfer jello shots to the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours until set.
SIXTH STEP: Just before serving, roll the top of each strawberry in granulated sugar and garnish with a very small lime wedge.
Can I make these ahead of time?
These strawberry jello shots should be enjoyed soon after they are made, otherwise, the strawberries will begin to get soggy.
Can I freeze rum jello shots?
These strawberry jello shots will not keep in the freezer as the strawberries will become soggy once thawed. If you have any leftover jello shots, you can store them in the fridge for a few hours at the most.
What kind of rum should I use?
Pick your favorite brand of rum for this recipe. Anything you enjoy drinking in your cocktails will work fine here.
How to Store Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots
IN THE FRIDGE: Strawberry daiquiri jello shots should be consumed the same day they are made. Keep stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
IN THE FREEZER: These Jello shots will not keep in the freezer. The strawberries will become soggy once thawed.
