Tips For Making Great Jello Shots

Shark Jello Shots Ingredients

  • Do not add your garnish to 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  shark attack jello shots so everyone can enjoy them – just use water instead of the rum.
