Rum brings back memories of carefree days sipping Rum Punch, Mai Tais, or Pina Coladas. If you can't sail off to islands, why not bring the Caribbean to you? Hence, I have concocted these amazing Pina Colada jello Shooters (jello party shots)! - You are welcome!!!
I make these for my summer parties and when I am riding on the boat. They are always a HUGE hit. You can pick them up by the cherry stem and pop them in your mouth. How fun is that? I hope you love them as much as we do! Enjoy! Xoxo - Katie.

How long does it take for Boozy Jello Shots to Set?
Boozy jello shots are great for parties because you can make them a head of time. I like to make mine the night before. They typically need 4 hours to set.
About the Rum I Use
I was recently offered a couple bottles of Batiste Rum to try their rum and tell you guys (my readers) what I think.
I was like, "Absolutely... don't I look like a girl that likes to have fun? Of course I won't turn down a bottle of rum! Bring it on and pack some extra..."
However, I had no idea what I was really in for. Not all rum is created equal. Batiste Rum is very special. It is organic, all natural, gluten free, Non GMO, and Fair Trade! They are also Eco-Positive and Carbon Negative.
If that isn't enough, the rum is made with 100% fresh Caribbean Island grown sugar can juice! (Most rum is made with molasses. Batiste has zero grams of sugar.)
But what you really want to know is.... IS IT GOOD? Uh... YES! It is AWESOME!

The combination of coconut cream, pineapple juice, and rum sounds absolutely delicious, and the layered look makes these jello shots stand out from traditional party desserts.

Just finished step 1, and placed in the fridge. I hope they set up. Next time, I will add the gelatin and mix well BEFORE heating, because it formed small clumps even using a whisk, and had to strain it... but even if they end up liquid shots, they are soooo good... Highly recommend..

These are ingenious, I have to confess not to being a big rum drinker although use it fairly often in my cooking. My mother in law on the other hand loves the stuff, I may have to give her a whirl with these when she is visiting later in the summer 🙂
