See it wiggle and jiggle

If you're looking for a new and creative way to serve cocktails, then I'd like to introduce you to the wonderful world of Margarita Jelly Shots.

Jelly Shots are classic cocktails translated into gelatin, a grown-up rendition of the Jell-O Shot. The signature of a Jelly Shot include: a flavor true to the margarita cocktail and a free-spirited jiggly form that makes them dangerously delicious. Here's what you need:

  • 1 (6 ounce) box lime Jell-O gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/8 cup fresh-squeezed   lime juice
  • 3/4 cup clear tequila
  • 1/4 cup triple sec
  • 10-15 thinly sliced cucumber
  • Rock salt

Directions:

Mix boiling water and Jello. Stir for a minute until dissolved. Add rest of ingredients, stir. Pour into square of retangular baking pan, cool flat in the refrigerator for about 5 hours. Once it's set, cut into squares and wrap with cucumber skins and plate some salt on the side.
Cheers!
