Ingredients (Serves 16):
Instructions:
Lemon Layer: Begin by pouring 3/4 cup of boiling water into a small bowl. Add the lemon gelatin mix and stir until it fully dissolves. In a separate glass measuring cup, pour in 1 cup of Kōloa Kauaʻi Gold Rum and add ice until the total volume reaches 1 1/4 cups. Mix this rum and ice into the lemon gelatin, stirring until it thickens slightly. Discard any unmelted ice. Now, fill shot glasses one-third of the way with this lemon gelatin mixture and place them in the refrigerator to set for at least 90 minutes.
Orange Layer: Next, pour another 3/4 cup of boiling water into the same small bowl. Add the orange gelatin mix and stir until it’s completely dissolved. Again, take 1 cup of Kōloa Kauaʻi Gold Rum in a glass measuring cup, adding ice until you reach a total of 1 1/4 cups. Mix this into the orange gelatin until it’s slightly thickened, then remove any unmelted ice. Carefully pour this orange gelatin layer over the already set lemon gelatin. Return to the refrigerator and allow it to set for an additional 90 minutes.
Milk Layer: Begin by pouring 2 tablespoons of warm water into a bowl. Add unflavored gelatin and mix until it has fully dissolved. Next, incorporate condensed milk along with 1/2 cup of Kōloa Kauaʻi Spiced Rum. Carefully pour this mixture over the orange gelatin layer. Allow it to refrigerate until the top layer has fully set, which should take at least 30 minutes.
