Instructions:

Prepare the Gelatin:
In a medium-sized bowl, add the strawberry-banana gelatin powder. Carefully pour boiling water over the gelatin mix, stirring continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes, ensuring that no granules remain. -
Add the Rum:
Once the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the banana rum until well combined. The rum will add a smooth, tropical flavor to your jello shots, perfectly complementing the fruity gelatin base. -
Pour the Mixture into Shot Glasses:
Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into small, 2-ounce shot glasses, filling each about three-quarters of the way. This will give the jello enough room to set properly while ensuring that each serving is the perfect size for a fun, single shot. -
Chill Until Set:
Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is firm to the touch. For best results, leave them overnight, especially if you’re making a large batch for a party. -
Serve & Enjoy:
Once set, your Strawberry, Banana, Rum Jello Shots are ready to be served! Garnish with a small strawberry or banana slice on top for an extra pop of color, or simply enjoy the fruity goodness as-is.
Tips & Variations:
- Make it stronger: Adjust the rum to suit your preferences. If you want a more intense rum flavor, you can increase the rum to 1/3 cup or more, depending on your taste.
- For a non-alcoholic version: Swap out the banana rum for fruit juice (such as pineapple or mango juice) for a tropical virgin jello shot that everyone can enjoy.
- Gelatin flavor swaps: Try other tropical fruit gelatin flavors like mango or pineapple for different flavor combinations.
