Preparation
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and stir in the packet of orange Jell-O mix. Once the Jell-O has dissolved, mix in 1 cup of vodka and stir. Pour mixture into the orange peels to fill halfway. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, until the layer is firm.
Mix ½ cup water and coconut milk in a saucepan, then mix in gelatin. Let mixture sit for 1 minute, then stir until dissolved over medium heat. Add sugar and continue heating until dissolved, then stir in remaining vodka. Pour mixture into oranges, filling to the top, then refrigerate overnight.
After gelatin is set, quarter the orange halves with a sharp knife and serve.
