These Black Cherry Spiced Rum and Coke Jell-O Shots have Black cherry Jell-O, Spiced Rum, and Coke for a tasty twist on a classic drink.

I was never a big rum fan.

But these Black Cherry Rum and Coke Jell-O Shots changed my mind.

Oh sure, it is always fun in a Pina Colada or Daiquiri, but for the most part I stay clear of it.

So I avoided spiced rum for quite some time.

Then one day while at a bar the when the bartender asked me what I wanted I said “surprise me”.

Surprised I was as what he handed me was Spiced Rum, cherry juice, and Coke.

I looked at him and thought not very exciting.

He told me to trust him.

It’s a good thing I did trust him because it was good.

Really good.

Like really, really, really good.

I felt silly for avoiding spiced rum for so long.

Live and learn as they like to say.

So when it came time to invent Jell-O shot flavors for the hockey tournament I decided to turn that drink into Black Cherry Rum and Coke Jell-O Shots.

This one went over really well.

I have to make them every year or else people complain and ask where they are.

I use Black Cherry Jell-O which I can find at the store and online.

However, if you cannot find black cherry you could use regular cherry Jell-O if need be.

You don’t need to add the gummy cola garnish but they are fun so why not?

Mini gummy cola’s are what I used but the full sized ones would work too.
