In a medium mixing bowl, empty the blue gelatin mix.
Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the gelatin mix and stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 0.5 cup of cold water, 0.5 cup of coconut rum, and 0.5 cup of pineapple juice to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine.
Arrange 12 small plastic or glass shot cups on a tray or baking sheet for easy transport.
Pour the gelatin mixture evenly into the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Refrigerate the filled cups for at least 2-4 hours, or until the jello is fully set.
Optional: Before serving, top each jello shot with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Caribbean-inspired party treat responsibly!
