I woke up on Sunday morning and did what every self-respecting wife and mother of a 2 and 4 year old does....
...I made
......Island Pineapple Jello Shots!
Now before you go judging me, "Oh dear, that is just not right???!"
Please hear me out...
When The Food Hound hosted a giveaway from The Spice and Tea Exchange in Asheville NC on her fabulously witty, gastronomically addicting food blog ...and I was the lucky winner...the wheels began spinning...
What can I do with coconut tea leaves other than brew a delicious pot of tea?
After some intense brainstorming...it was she who birthed me some 30 + years ago who said...
"Why not tea infused, island pineapple jello shots?"
Um? Have you done this before Mom? Not simply tea infused "jello" she clearly said... "jello shots!"
It was as if the WHOLE WORLD began to make sense!
So like A GOOD DAUGHTER who listens to her mother... I found THIS JELLO SHOT RECIPE on line substituted the boiling water with 1 cup super hot Coconut Oolong Tea... used 1 cup Bacardi Rum, 1/4 cup Agave Tequila...
...and got a stirring!
Four hours later...we had jello shots.
I tried JUST ONE because you can't be a food blogger and not test the finished product...
Coconut, Pineapple, Tequila and Rum topped with a garnish of mint...a daiquiri, margarita and mojito all mixed into one! What's not to love?

How did they taste and are they tailgate worthy?
Totally delicious!!!! Yes Tailgate approved!
I would never judge...all I thought was... WHY didn't I think of that?? :) I bet those were fantastic!
YES!---perfect for dessert after eating the biscuits 'n eggs (and sausage). Hee hee.
Those are pretty close to perfect :-). I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
I bet they were great! My favorite flavors all in one. I'm so glad you sampled them first, can't trust a food blogger who doesn't eat/drink her own creations! lol
this is pure genius love it!
very fun
I think our moms need to hang out! They sound like kindred spirits! Can we do a double date with our moms???
These look fantastic...I haven't had jello shots in ages, and last time I did, I'm pretty sure they were in dixie cups! I like this version better. Much classier! ha.
this sounds just brilliant!!
You are a smart one! Hehe
My roommates and I had a party about a year ago where we featured crazy fun jello shot flavors...these would have been a welcome addition. And yes, it's always good to listen to your mom/ Especially when she advises jello shot making.
YUM! i love jello shots! these look great :)
Wow! i bet you had to hide those from the curious kiddos! They do look "yum!"
