Preparation

Step 1

Pour pineapple juice and sugar (if using) in a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to soak in for a minute or two. Heat over medium heat until gelatin dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in vodka.

Pour into plastic shot glasses, filling 3/4 of the way full, reserving some of the jello mixture at room temperature. Allow to set in refrigerator for about 45 minutes, or until just firm to the touch.

While jello is setting, prepare pineapple garnish. Cut small rings from pineapple and place in a microwave safe bowl with a tbsp. of water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes or until pineapple is hot and steaming.

Once jello has started to set, place cooled pineapple ring and a cherry on top and top off with a little more of the jello mixture so that everything can properly bind together. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
