Key Ingredients
We’re using two key ingredients in this recipe: cola and cherry gelatin. The cola gives our jello shots a sweet and fizzy flavor, while the cherry gelatin adds a fruity twist. Plus, who doesn’t love the classic combo of cherry and cola?
How to Make
First, we’ll boil some cola in a pot. Then, we’ll add in our gelatin and stir until it dissolves. Next, we’ll add in our cherry gelatin and mix until it’s fully combined. After that, it’s time to add in the rum and stir some more. Once everything is mixed together, we’ll slice off the bottoms of some cherries and place them in our jello shot pan. Finally, we’ll pour in the mixture and let it set in the fridge for a few hours.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips to make sure your Rum and Cherry Coke Jello Shots turn out perfect:
- Make sure the cola is hot when you add in the gelatin, so it dissolves completely.
- Use a sharp knife to slice off the bottoms of the cherries, so they sit flat in the jello shot pan.
- Let the jello shots set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
