Jell-O is at its very best when orange, and made with slices of mandarin orange and whipped cream in it - makes a Jell-O casserole to die for. Grandma used to make it

Other than that, fruit in Jell-O is strictly verboten, especially the crappy 'fruit cocktail in a can' travesty.

Then, in my college years, the Jell-O shots. Instead of one cup cold water, one cup hot, it was one cup rum, one cup hot. Jell in little cups made for cuban coffee shots (I lived in Miami). Gel and serve.

Don't use vodka - it doesn't gel right, most floats to the top. Use red or orange with rum. I tried yellow with the vodka, but it didn't work.

If you are splurging, Amaretto works wonderfully. Otherwise use Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.
