Coconut Jello Shots Ingredients

• Coconut Vodka or Rum
• Cream of Coconut
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Gelatine

Tips

Veil & Pinnacle Vodkas are a good, ‘flavored’ vodkas.

To make Jello Shots that are not ‘fruit flavored,’ you have to use Gelatin instead. Gelatin is not challenging to work with, and the fantastic thing about Gelatine is that you can make any of your favorite cocktails into a Jello Shot.

I wanted the Jello Shots to taste authentically like coconut, so I used cream of coconut. The cream of coconut leaves a thin crust on the top of the Jello Shot. I LOVE these Coconut Jello Shots.

Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further.

Here is an awesome product to help YOU make the most incredible drinks. Impress your family and friends and be the BEST Cocktail Barista in your neighborhood.

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

Jello Shot Cups

To make your Jello Shots, you’ll need Jello Shot cups. Click here to learn the differences between the three styles of Jello Shot cups. I use the squeezable Jello Shot cups, the flat round Jello Shot cups above, and the square Jello Shot cups.

How to make Coconut Jello Shots

Place 18 Jello Shot cups on a baking sheet.

Gelatin can be tricky to work with when using it in a recipe. Pour the Coconut Vodka or Rum into the spouted mixing bowl and sprinkle the Gelatin on top. The secret is to ‘slowly’ sprinkle the Gelatin on top of the liquid. If you see the gelatin clump up, you spread it too quickly.

Let the gelatin mixture sit for 5 minutes. Don’t worry if you notice dry patches on your Gelatin. Ensure your water is boiling before adding it to the gelatin mixture and stir well until the clumps dissolve.

In the meantime, bring the water to a boil. Pour the water into the gelatin mixture and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut cream and the sweetened condensed milk.

Fill the Jello Shot cups 3/4 full of the Coconut Jello Shot mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours before adding the top.

You can make Coconut Jello Shots 2 days in advance if covered and kept in the refrigerator.

Coconut Jello Shots are delicious and incredibly easy to travel with, making them perfect for summertime fun. Their tropical flavor and refreshing coolness capture the season’s essence. These delightful treats are easy to make and serve. They combine coconut’s creamy, sweet taste with vodka or rum, creating a mini vacation in every bite. The jello shot cups are ideal for outdoor gatherings, beach parties, and poolside lounging.

Cheers, and enjoy the carefree vibes of summer.
