Ingredients

  • 1 cup skinny margarita mix
  • ¾ cup blanco tequila
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • Coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened lime juice
  • Lime zest
  • Limes
  • Optional: Add 1-2 drops neon green food coloring to make the jello shots pop with color!

Instructions

  • Cut each lime in half. Score around the fruit/pulp so it is easier to remove.*
  • Gently peel back the lime pulp. I continued to use my hands to peel and remove the pulp, however you can use a spoon to scoop it out as well. Place the empty limes into mini cupcake tin.
  • Pour 1 cup skinny margarita mix into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin into the mix. Heat the mix and gelatin on low until the gelatin completely dissolves. Remove from heat and cool.
  • Add the ¾ cup tequila to the margarita mix. Add the 2 tablespoons sweetened lime juice (I just added sugar to the lime juice to sweeten it).
  • Fill each of the lime halves with the mix. Chill for 3-4 hours or overnight until the jello shots are solid. Sprinkle coarse salt and lime zest on the shot before you serve!
  • Cut into slices and serve!

Notes

*Tip: helpful tool is a pumpkin carving knife (who would have thought?!)
