Blue jello shots used to be the bane of my existence.

I always seem to be hosting parties with blue as one of the theme colors.

And I could never find blue jello shot recipes that actually tasted good.

The problem is that most of the recipes use Berry Blue jello and it’s kind of a weird flavor. So the key is to find things you can mix with it that improve its taste.

And as usual, I never have a lot of time to spend making these, so they have to be easy.

After all kinds of failures, these are the ones that actually worked.

  • This berry blue jello shots recipe has a tropical flavor and is really easy to make with only 2 ingredients…Berry Blue jello and Malibu rum. You can’t get much easier than that!

  • Made with Malibu rum and pineapple juice, these Blue Hawaiian jello shots use similar flavors to the cocktail of the same name.

    They’re the color of the ocean and taste so delicious you’ll feel like you’re sitting on a tropical beach. Perfect for any summer party.

  • One of the problems with blue jello shots is they almost always use Berry Blue jello.

    Which isn’t a real fruit flavor like some of the others. And it’s really sweet.

    This recipe uses the tartness of Sour Apple Pucker to counteract some of that sweetness and create a surprisingly delicious jello shot.

  • This “Under The Sea” jello shot recipe is made with Malibu rum and Swedish fish.

    And it really looks like fish swimming in the ocean.

    The perfect adult treat for any beach party or ocean-related event (like shark week celebrations).

  • These layered tropical red, white and blue jello shots made with Malibu rum are always a big hit at my annual 4th of July party.

    The coconut flavor goes so well with the summer vibes at a cookout.
