  • 1 large box orange jello 6 ounce size

  • Stir 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of tequila into the orange Jello mixture.
    1 ½ cups cold water, 1 ½ cups tequila
  • Pour on top of the first layer, filling the shot cups the rest of the way to the top with the orange Jello mixture. Move to the refrigerator to chill again for about 4 hours or until the orange layer is set.
  • Garnish with a mini orange wedge and a maraschino cherry before serving.

Notes

  • Be sure you don't add too much alcohol to your shots or your Jello may not set properly.
  • If you spray a little coconut oil or Pam cooking spray in the bottom of your shot cups before pouring in the Jello, it'll make your shots slide out easier.
