A QUICK NOTE
These festive piña colada Jell-O shots are for adults only. I made them for the grown-ups at a birthday party; clearly label them and keep them separate from any treats for kids.
INGREDIENTS
16–20 (2-ounce) Jell-O shot cups with lids
1 (3-ounce) box pineapple-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
¾ cup Malibu coconut rum
¼ cup cold water
Maraschino cherries and pineapple slices, for topping
Toothpicks, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. Arrange the shot cups on a baking sheet.
2. Add the gelatin powder to a mixing bowl. Pour in the boiling water and stir until fully dissolved, about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in the coconut rum and cold water.
4. Divide the mixture among the cups, cover, and refrigerate until set, about 2–4 hours.
5. Garnish with maraschino cherries and pineapple slices on toothpicks before serving to adults. Keep refrigerated and clearly labeled away from children.
