MARGARITA JELLO SHOTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, mix the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and cold water. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, stir the boiling water and lime gelatin together until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
• If using, whisk the unflavored gelatin into the chilled tequila mix. Let sit for 1 minute.
• Combine the warm lime gelatin mix and the tequila mix, and stir well.
• Pour the liquid into shot glasses, molds, or a shallow baking pan for a sheet of gelatin to cut up once set.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best), until the liquid sets completely. Serve cold and enjoy.

MARGARITA JELLY SHOTS

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, lime juice and 2/3 cup regular water in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the seltzer water to the syrup mixture, sprinkle the gelatin on top and leave it to bloom for 5 minutes.
• Microwave the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Sir in the tequila and orange liqueur. Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce glasses. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
• Before serving, garnish each shot with a small pinch of flaky sea salt and a lime wedge.
