  • Author: Stephanie

Description

🌋 **Tiki Torch Shots**

**Ingredients:**

* 1 box (3 oz) orange Jell-O
* 1 cup boiling water
* ½ cup cold water
* ½ cup spiced rum (like Captain Morgan)
* Optional: Overproof rum (like Bacardi 151) for flaming topper
* Orange peel twist, maraschino cherry, or mini tiki pick for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. **Make the base:**
Dissolve orange Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.

2. **Add the rum kick:**
Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup spiced rum. Stir to combine.

3. **Pour & chill:**
Pour into shot glasses or cups and refrigerate until firm (2–3 hours).

4. **Garnish (optional flame!):**
Top each shot with an orange peel twist or maraschino cherry.
🔥 *For a safe flaming version:* Add a small metal spoon or lime shell with a splash of overproof rum on top of the set Jell-O, light just before serving with caution. Extinguish before drinking.

⚠️ **Flaming Safety Notes:**

* Only use **heat-safe containers** and **non-plastic shot glasses** for flame.
* Always extinguish flames before consuming.
* Never leave lit shots unattended.

🔥🌴 **Vibe:** These shots scream *island mischief.* Display on a wooden tray with faux fire or LED flames for a glowing tiki bar vibe.
