Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots
Hollowed fresh strawberries filled with a blend of rum, lime juice, and strawberry jello create a fun, refreshing adult treat with a sweet, tangy daiquiri flavor.
Equipment
- 1 medium bowl or 4-cup measuring cup with spout
- 1 whisk
- 1 strawberry corer or sharp paring knife
- 1 food syringe or squirt bottle optional but helpful
- 1 tray or dish for chilling
Ingredients
- 3 oz strawberry jello mix 1 box
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup white rum
- 40 large whole strawberries
- granulated sugar for garnish
- lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk the strawberry jello mix with 1 cup boiling water in a medium bowl or measuring cup until dissolved with no granules.
- Stir in cold water, fresh lime juice, and white rum until evenly combined.
- Remove stems and hollow out each strawberry using a corer or paring knife to create a cavity, then trim the bottom for stability.
- Fill each hollowed strawberry with the jello mixture carefully using a food syringe, squirt bottle, or steady hand.
- Place filled strawberries upright on a tray and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until the jello sets completely.
- Before serving, roll the top of each strawberry in granulated sugar and garnish with a lime wedge. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For a stronger alcohol flavor, increase rum to 3/4 cup and omit cold water.
- The number of shots varies depending on strawberry size.
- Extra jello mixture can be used in regular shot cups.
- Boil water in the microwave to save time.
- Choose the largest strawberries available for ease in hollowing and filling.
