Never have I ever made nor consumed a jello shot. And I went to college for five years.

Since this recipe includes pineapple Jell-O, I'd call it a (Royal) Hawaiian Mai Tai Jello Shot. If it's too boozy even for Skip, to more closely match the drink's recipe from Remixed, and to include some fresh fruit juice, maybe it could be reformulated to something like this:

1 3-oz box orange Jell-O
1 3-oz box pineapple Jell-O
3/4 c light rum
3/4 c dark rum
1/4 c lime juice
1/4 c lemon juice
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 c boiling water

Then maybe to better approximate Vic's original recipe:

1 3-oz box orange Jell-O
1 3-oz box lime Jell-O
3/4 c light rum
3/4 c dark rum
2-1/2 c boiling water
1 oz orgeat syrup (dissolved in the boiling water)

(Or just live it up and keep both the rum and water at 2 cups)
