- Add the tequila to the gelatin mixture.1 cup tequila
- Add margarita mix and whisk to combine the ingredients.1 1/2 cups margarita mix
- Pour the Jello mixture evenly into Jello shot cups. (If you don’t have Jello shot cups, plastic shot glasses will also work.) Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish the shots with fresh lime slices or wedges and keep them chilled until ready to serve!
Notes
- These jello shots will stay solid at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. After that, they'lll begin to melt so if serving for a party, just put out as many as you think will be consumed in about a half hour. You can always refill your supply with fresh shots from the fridge.
- You'll want to be sure the gelatin is completely dissolved in the hot water before you add the remaining ingredients. This can be the difference between shots with a nice smooth texture or ones with clumps of gelatin.
