Ingredients

Scale

For the Pink Layer:

1 box (3 oz) strawberry Jello mix
(or 1 packet unflavored gelatin + 2 tbsp strawberry purée or syrup)
¾ cup boiling water
¼ cup coconut cream or vanilla liqueur (RumChata or Malibu Vanilla)
½ cup light rum (like Bacardi Silver)
Optional: splash of grenadine or red food coloring for bolder pink color

For the Yellow Layer:

1 box (3 oz) lemon Jello mix
¾ cup boiling water
¼ cup coconut water or lemonade
½ cup light rum

Optional Garnishes:

Lemon slices or zest curls
Sliced strawberries
Pink sanding sugar (for rimming cups)
Whipped topping (just before serving)

Instructions

Make the Pink Layer: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello (or gelatin + purée) in ¾ cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.
Add ¼ cup coconut cream (or liqueur) and ½ cup light rum. Mix gently. Add food coloring or grenadine if using.
Pour mixture into 2 oz plastic shot cups, filling each about halfway. Place in fridge and chill 1–1.5 hours, until firm.
Make the Yellow Layer: In a clean bowl, dissolve lemon Jello in ¾ cup boiling water. Stir in ¼ cup coconut water or lemonade and ½ cup rum.
Gently pour yellow layer over the set pink layer in each cup, filling to the top. Chill again for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Garnish & Serve: Top with whipped cream, a lemon curl, or sugared rim just before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!

Notes

For a swirled look, chill the pink layer only 30–40 minutes before adding yellow, then swirl with a toothpick.
You can reverse the layers—start with yellow, top with pink—based on your presentation style.
Want a stronger shot? Use ¾ cup rum per layer and reduce cold liquid accordingly.
These are best enjoyed chilled and can be made up to 5 days in advance. Just hold off on garnishing until you’re ready to serve!
