Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 3 ounce package lime-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O)
  • ⅓ cup tequila
  • ⅓ cup triple sec
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 15 plastic shot glasses or as needed

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Spouted measuring cup (for easy pouring)
  • Plastic shot glasses

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering everything so you can move quickly once the gelatin is mixed.
  2. Pour the boiling water into a bowl and add the lime gelatin. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture looks smooth.
  3. Add the tequila, triple sec, and water. Stir again until everything is fully combined.
  4. Carefully pour the mixture into your shot glasses, filling each one evenly.
  5. Place the shots in the refrigerator and let them chill for about 5 hours, or until fully set. Serve cold and enjoy responsibly.
