Strawberry Daiquiri Jello Shots offer a fun twist to a classic strawberry daiquiri cocktail, using hollowed fresh whole strawberries as edible containers!
In a medium bowl or large (4-cup) measuring cup with a spout, whisk together strawberry jello mix and 1 cup of boiling water until jello is fully dissolved.
Once the jello is fully dissolved, stir in the cold water, lime juice, and rum. Mix until combined.
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.
Carefully pour the jello mixture into each strawberry. You can use a food syringe or a squirt bottle, or simply pour with a stead hand.
Transfer jello shots to the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours until set.
Just before serving, roll the top of each strawberry in granulated sugar and garnish with a very small lime wedge.
Notes
Use up to ¾ cup of rum for a stronger jello shot. Eliminate the cold water in this case. 1 cup boiling water, ¼ cup lime juice, and ¾ cup rum.Number of jello shots will depend on the size of the strawberries (and hollowed out area). Unless the strawberries are gigantic, they won’t hold much more than a couple teaspoons of jello. You can also pour some of or the extra liquid into traditional jello shot cups.To save on time and dishes, I boil the 1 cup of water in the microwave right in the glass measuring cup that I mix everything up in. So fast!
