How To Make Pina Colada Mini Shot Cups
- Step One: Bring 1 cup of water to boil in a pot on the stove.
- Step Two: Mix the boiling hot water with 3 ounces of orange jello. Whisk until the gelatin and the powder is dissolved.
- Step Three: Whisk in the cold water and the Malibu Orange Float.
- Step Four: Fill each shot glass 1/3 full and put it in the fridge for 45 minutes.
- Step Five: Grab another medium bowl and add 1/4 cup of cold water and one unflavored gelatin package. Let it set for 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup of the boiling water and whisk.
- Step Six: Whisk in 1/4 cup of rum and the sweetened condensed milk. Fill another 1/3 of the jello shot, making the middle layer. Put in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Step Seven: Repeat the steps using the orange jello. This will make the top layer for the shot glass. Once it has been done, add a pineapple ring or pineapple chunk to the top and let set in the fridge overnight. Add a maraschino cherry as well!
How to Store
Once the jello shots are made, store them in the fridge until using them. They will stay for a few days without issue. (and the flavor of alcohol might get stronger, too!)
Variations
- You can change the type of alcohol and flavor
- You can cut out one of the layers if you don’t want to have that many
- Use different flavors of jello like strawberry jello for a simple twist
FAQs
These are a great summer treats! These would also be fun to have during a pool party, camping trip, or even just a gathering or BBQ at the house.
Anything that you’d like! I love adding whipped cream or even a pineapple wedge on the side of the plastic shot glass cup.
Put them on a baking sheet so that you can carry them around and offer them to people! It’s the perfect serving tray!
