Notes
Pro Tips for the Best Shark Jello Shots
- Pour from a spouted measuring cup: Transfer each jello mix into a large glass measuring cup before filling the shots. The spout gives you control and keeps the rims clean, which really matters when you are doing 30 of them.
- Wipe the rims between layers: A quick pass with a damp paper towel on any blue splashes keeps that white layer looking crisp against the cup.
- Cool the coconut layer with intention: Too hot and it melts the blue, too cold and it starts to set before you can pour. Barely warm and still pourable is the target.
- Always taste before you commit: This is the restaurant move I can't shake, taste your blue mix before it goes in the cups. That is your last chance to adjust before it locks in.
- Chill your serving tray: Pull the shots at the last minute and keep them on a cold tray. Room temperature graham crackers on a hot day go soft fast.
