Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider adding fresh strawberries or using strawberry puree. If you prefer a lower sugar version, substitute the sugar with a natural sweetener like agave syrup. To make it a vegan option, use a non-alcoholic rum alternative. Ensure the Jell-O is completely dissolved in hot water for a smooth slush.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To reheat, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. If it becomes too solid, give it a quick stir to regain a slushy consistency. Consume within a week for the best flavor.
