Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: Caribbean
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut rum
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 package (3 oz) orange jello
- 1 package (3 oz) pineapple jello
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: measuring cups, mixing bowl, whisk, shot glasses or small plastic cups, and refrigerator space.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiling water with both packages of jello powder (orange and pineapple). Whisk thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until the jello powder is completely dissolved.
- Allow the jello mixture to cool for approximately 5 minutes at room temperature.
- Add coconut rum, orange juice, and pineapple juice to the jello mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all liquids.
- Carefully pour the liquid mixture into individual shot glasses, filling each about 3/4 full to leave room for setting.
- Place the shot glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the jello is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, remove the jello shooters from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly loosen from the sides of the glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a small piece of pineapple or orange slice on top before serving.
Tips
- Chill Out: Ensure your refrigerator is at the right temperature (around 40°F) for perfect jello setting.
- Precision Matters: Use exact measurements to maintain the right balance of flavors and alcohol content.
- Smooth Operator: Whisk the jello powder thoroughly to prevent any lumps in your mixture.
- Serving Hack: Run the shot glasses briefly under warm water to help them release easily.
- Make Ahead Magic: These shooters can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making party prep a breeze.
- Garnish Game: For extra flair, add a small cocktail umbrella or fruit slice to elevate the presentation.
- Alcohol Adjustment: For a stronger shot, increase rum; for a lighter version, reduce alcohol content.
