Film Inspiration: District 9

Description: Look carefully; the green secretion lurking in the cocktail could speed up this deadly transformation.

Highlight Ingredient(s):
gelatin disc and coconut rum

Ingredients

For Drink:
2 Oz Coconut Rum
4 Oz Pineapple Juice
1 Tbsp Midori

For Disc:
Oz plain gelatin (4 5oz. packages)
1 Cup coconut rum (cold)
1 Cup pineapple juice (cold)
2 Cup(s) boiling water

Directions

Mix rum and pineapple juice with ice in a shaker, shake until cold and foamy. Pour into a tall narrow-mouthed glass until almost full.

Using the back edge of a spoon, gently pour the Midori into the glass so it sinks below the foamed pineapple juice creating a green lower layer. Seal with alien disc. (Directions below)

Combine rum and pineapple juice and sprinkle gelatin over cold mixture and let set for a few minutes.

Add boiling water and stir until fully dissolved (5 mins.)

Pour into shallow flat bottom glass pans 1/4 in thick. Chill over night.

Place pan of set gelatin in hot water for a few seconds to loosen from the edges and invert onto a plate lined with wax paper.

Cut into circles slightly larger than the mouth of the glass. Store in refrigerator on trays lined with wax paper until use.
