Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the lime and lemon gelatin mixes. Pour in the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes, allowing the mixture to cool slightly but not set. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the gelatin mixture from the refrigerator. Stir in the tequila, triple sec, orange liqueur, and sweetened lime juice until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Gently fold in the sparkling water to maintain its effervescence. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Ladle the mixture evenly into 24 small cups or shot glasses. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Sprinkle the zest of one lime evenly over the top of each cup. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the Jell-O shots are firm and set. (240 minutes)

08

Step

Just before serving, lightly sprinkle each Jell-O shot with margarita salt to enhance the flavors.

For a more intense lime flavor, consider adding the zest of an additional lime to the gelatin mixture.
Use high-quality tequila and orange liqueur for the best flavor profile.
Adjust the amount of margarita salt to your preference.
Garnish with a lime wedge on each glass.

    Make sure you chill them long enough; otherwise, they can be a bit too soft.
