Notes
Pineapple juice. Make sure the pineapple juice is pasteurised and not freshly squeezed. Fresh pineapple juice will prevent the jello from setting properly.
Use vodka instead. A Jack Frost cocktail is typically made with rum, but you can replace both rums with vodka, if preferred. Note that it will obviously change the flavor of these shots.
Chill all the liquids. Make space in your fridge to chill the pineapple juice, coconut rum and white rum, and Blue Curaçao liquor. This ensures the jello sets properly.
Use something with a spout for pouring. A large spouted measuring cup or mixing bowl that has a spout helps prevent spills when you’re pouring the liquid jello into the cups.
Wait to garnish. Chill the shots until firm and then garnish right before serving.
