Preparing Your Piña Colada Jello Shot Syringes
Ingredients:
- Pineapple Jello gelatin
- Cream of coconut
- Coconut rum (chilled)
- White rum (optional)
- Water
Since Malibu coconut rum has a lower alcohol content than white rum, I recommend mixing both, to get that yummy tropical taste along with jello shots that pack a bit of a punch.
Instructions:
- Mix Jello: Bring half of the water to a boil and pour in the gelatin power, stirring to mix and dissolve completely. Remove from heat.
- Add cream of coconut: Stir the cream of coconut into the hot gelatin mixture. Add the remaining water. For jello shot syringes that set quickly, use ice water
- Add the Spirits: If you’re including alcohol, stir in the rum(s) once the gelatin mixture has had some time to cool.
- Fill the Syringes: The beauty of using syringes for jello shots is that they’re simple and mess free to fill! Dip the tip of the syringe in the jello liquid, and pull the plunger to fill. Replace the cap on the tip of the syringe and chill until set.
- Serve Chilled: To serve, push the plunger and squirt the jello shot directly into your mouth.
FAQs About Making Syringe Jello Shots
Q: Can I make these jello shots without alcohol?
A: Absolutely! Just substitute the alcohol with an equal amount of additional pineapple juice or another complementary non-alcoholic liquid, like coconut water.
Q: How far in advance can I make these jello shots?
A: You can prepare these shots up to 48 hours in advance. Just keep them refrigerated until ready to serve. They’re perfect for preparing ahead of time to reduce stress on the day of your party!
Q: Where can I buy syringes for jello shots?
A: Jello shot syringes can be found online through retailers like Amazon (affiliate link) or at party supply stores. They typically come in bulk, making them great for large gatherings.
Q: How do I prevent the jello from sticking inside the syringes? A: To ensure easy dispensing, coat the inside of the syringe with a thin layer of cooking oil spray before filling them with the jello mixture. This helps the jello slide right out when it’s time to serve.
Q: Are there any creative variations I can try with this recipe? A: Definitely! Feel free to experiment with different flavors of gelatin or mix in other types of fruit juices. You can also try layering colors and flavors for a festive look that matches your party theme.
