Line a straight-sided bowl or souffle dish with split lady fingers (smooth side in). (If you lightly butter the dish, the lady fingers stand up better.) Mix vanilla pudding mix as directed using 2 cups of milk. Mix gelatin in with water & add bourbon or rum to it. Stir gelatin mixture into topping & fold all into the prepared pudding. Mix until smooth & no streaks remain. Pour into bowl lined with lady fingers. Cover with plastic wrap pushed down on top of pudding to keep it from getting hard. Refrigerate 3-4 hours or overnight. Yields 10-12 servings.
