These Mermaid Jello Shots are layered shots that feature 4 different colors of jello infused with Rum!
They’re so delicious and beautiful! They’re popular for parties, any get-togethers and are always a conversation-starter!
The instructions may seem long but once you do the first layer you’ll see how easy it really is to assemble.
These can be made kid-friendly of course by just leaving out the rum 🙂
I have seen many different jello shots out there (I have many on my blog) make sure to check those out! My newest one is Orange Creamsicle!
Most people seem to like to use vodka in their jello shots but honestly, I have never been a fan of vodka in anything, so I always sub it for rum or even tequila!
Everyone is sure to think these beauties are magical!
