Tips & FAQs:

What alcohol is good with Berry Blue jello?

Any regular flavored liquor will be great- think unflavored vodka, white rum, etc… we also love these with the Malibu coconut rum that we used for more tropical flavors, and any berry flavored liquor would be amazing. Blue raspberry vodka, Smirnoff Red White and Berry, or any other berry flavor!

Do you have to let the jello cool before adding alcohol?

This is totally not necessary. By the time we’ve whisked in the jello and added cold water, the temperature isn’t nearly as hot. We aren’t boiling the alcohol so it is just fine.

Where can I buy jello shot cups?

We get ours at Walmart, or on Amazon. These two ounce cups are with the regular plastic cups in stores, but you can get all kinds of different cups on Amazon!

Can I use a different liquor?

Yes! If you don’t love the taste of Malibu, feel free to use a rum or vodka that doesn’t have a flavor. Any clear liquor will work perfectly- even tequila!
