1. Soften 1 envelope of the unfavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of the cherry beverage in a small saucepan; heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until gelatin dissolves; remove from heat. Stir in remaining cherry beverage.

4. Peel banana halfway and cut 6 slices; lay 1 slice on top of firm gelatin in each glass; spoon another 3 tablespoons gelatin mixture in each, alternating the colors with those in bottom; chill again until firm.
5. Peel and slice remaining banana; place in glasses; top with remaining gelatin mixtures, dividing evenly and alternating colors again; chill. Just before serving, garnish with more banana slices, if you wish.
