Strawberry and coconut is such a dreamy, dessert combination and I love the way the creamy and fruity flavors work together. This cocktail gets infused with a little touch of citrus from the Cointreau and then finished with a shimmer from the edible glitter. Great for parties or get-togethers, everyone will oooo and aaaah over their charm!

Key Ingredients

See the recipe card for quantities.

  • Vanilla Vodka: I adore Absolut Vanilla for this recipe.
  • Cointreauor Triple Sec: Adds the most delicious flavor and kick.
  • Coconut Milk: I recommend using it slightly chilled.
  • Gelatin: Knox Gelatine is really easy to use in this recipe.
  • Strawberry Juice: I used Simply’s strawberry juice for these Easter egg jello shots.
  • Edible Glitter: It’s got to be pink! Powder blue is pretty, too.
  • Coconut Oil Spray: So the little jellies slip out easily.
  • Whipped Cream: Or a whipped topping will do.
  • Optional Toppings: Play with sprinkles, edible flowers or mint!

Substitutions & Variations

  • Liquor swap: Swap vanilla vodka for regular vodka, whipped cream vodka, coconut rum or even a light rum. Try replacing Cointreau with orange liqueur or peach schnapps.
  • Juice swap: Raspberry juice, watermelon juice or pink lemonade are all delicious in these Easter egg jello shots.
  • Coconut milk swap: If you’re not a fan of coconut, use half-and-half, heavy cream or almond milk.
  • Gelatin: You can use flavored gelatin (like strawberry or raspberry) instead of unflavored gelatin.
  • Less sweet version: Trade strawberry juice for water or a little club soda.
  • Creamier version: Add a bit more coconut milk or some sweetened condensed milk.
  • Color variations: Skip the pink glitter and divide the mixture to color with pastel food coloring.
  • Mocktail version: Leave out the vodka and Cointreau and replace with sparkling water, lemon-lime soda or extra juice.
  • Topping variations: Instead of whipped cream, try marshmallow fluff, chocolate drizzle, crushed cookies or toasted coconut. 

How to Make Easter Egg Jello Shots

Step 1: Bring strawberry juice to a boil. Meanwhile, combine vanilla vodka, Cointreau and coconut milk in a bowl. 

Step 2: Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and let it sit for 1 minute. 

Step 3: Add hot strawberry juice and edible glitter; stir until gelatin fully dissolves. 

Step 4: Grease silicone egg molds, place on a tray and fill with the mixture. Refrigerate 3–4 hours until set. 

Step 5: Remove from molds (loosen edges if you need to), move to a plate and top with whipped cream and garnishes.
