Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots are a fun way to celebrate at your next party. Easy to make, look fancy, and taste like the islands! Your party guests will love these Blue Hawaiian jello shots made with coconut rum, pineapple juice and blue jello.

Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots are perfect for spring break, summertime BBQ’s, or any summer event. Jello shots make one of the best party snacks. I like to think of them as a cocktail appetizer.

This is the perfect recipe for the big game, the company holiday party, or any time you want to have a festive drink! Just like the Blue Hawaiian drink, it’s a delicious blend of coconut rum and pineapple juice. I often pair these with Pina Colada Jello Shots for our summer parties as they compliment each other perfectly!

If you’re looking for an easy recipe that is perfect for entertaining, this is it!

 

Blue Hawaiian Jello Shot Ingredients

These Blue Hawaiian jello shots only need 3 ingredients. Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 3 oz box Berry Blue Jello
• 1 cup Pineapple Juice
• 1 cup Coconut Rum (Malibu Rum or Parrot Bay Coconut Rum)
• 1/4 cup Blue Curacao
• Mini plastic jello shot cups (2 ounce)
• Pineapple Chunks (garnish)
• Maraschino Cherries (garnish)

If you want to get more jello shots from a single batch, you can opt for the smaller 1 oz jello shot cups. But, I like the 2 ounce mini jello shot cups as you get a good amount to really taste these tropical jello shots.

 

Should You Use Coconut Rum or Light Rum?

Coconut rum such as Malibu or Parrot Bay are what makes these a Blue Hawaiian Jello Shot.

But if you’re not a coconut fan, then use a light rum / white rum. You’ll still have delicious jello shots with a berry pineapple flavor.

How long do jello shots take to set?

Jello shots take 2-4 hours to set up. It depends on your refrigerator and how deep your jello shots are made. 1 oz jello shots will set up in 1-2 hours. 2 oz jello shots will need at least 2-3 hours, and could be as much as 4 hours.

How to Make Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots

Here’s how to make Blue Hawaiian jello shots. Grab your pot, measuring cup and ingredients. These will be ready in a few simple steps.

Step by Step Directions:

Step 1: Heat up 1 cup of pineapple juice to a medium heat on the stove. Don’t boil the juice! At medium heat, the juice will be hot enough to dissolve the powdered jello.

Step 2: Once heated, remove the juice from the stove and pour in the pineapple jello packet. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.

 

Step 3: Once the pineapple jello is completely dissolved, pour in 1 cup of coconut rum.

Step 4: Add 1/4 cup of Blue Curacao. Stir well.

 

Step 5: Arrange the mini shot cups in a shallow baking pan or a muffin pan. You can use anything that will make it easy for you to transfer the jello shots in and out of the refrigerator.

Step 6: Pour the mixture into the mini shot cups. Place the shots in the refrigerator and leave them until the jello sets up.

 

Step 7: Top with a Maraschino cherry, fresh pineapple wedges and serve.

 

What’s more fun than a jello shot? Blue Hawaiian Jello shots! These coconut rum jello shots blend deliciously with pineapple juice for a perfect party jello shot.

Cheers!
