⅓
cup
cold water
2
tablespoons
sweetened lime juice
½
cup

Instructions
In a large bowl, add the Jell-O mix. Pour in the boiling water and whisk until combined and the jello is dissolved.
Add the cold water and whisk until combined.
Add the sweetened lime juice and tequila, and whisk until fully combined.
Fill 12 (2-ounce) cups with the mixture about ¾ of the way full. Cover with the lids and place into the fridge until set, about 3 hours or overnight.
To serve, take a lime slice and run it along the edge of the plastic cup and then carefully dip the edge all over in the margarita salt.
Garnish with strawberry slices and more lime. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Please refer to my FAQ's and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
These are not overly strong, with a fantastic balance of flavors and alcohol.
If you don’t have margarita salt, you can use kosher salt.
Use whatever tequila you like, but blanco helps keep the shots looking clear and that bright red from the jello.
Only garnish the shots you will use immediately because they cannot be store with the garnishes. To store you need to keep the plastic tops on.
Store with the lid on in the fridge for up to 1 week.
They freeze well for up to 3 months. They are even good frozen! Or, you can let them thaw overnight in the fridge.
