Whisk in half a cup cold water and half a cup rum of choice.
Pour on top of the blue jello and place in fridge for one hour or until set.

Serve immediately.
Tips For Making Great Jello Shots
- Do not add whipped cream to the top of your shots if you’re not serving them right away. You’ll want to keep lids on your shots and garnish them right before serving.
- You can use any rum or alcohol you prefer, just don’t go over half a cup of alcohol per package of jello or it won’t set.
- You can keep these in the fridge for up to 5 days, with lids.
- To make a non-alcoholic version of these Mermaid jello shots so everyone can enjoy them – just use water instead of the rum.
