Instructions

  1. Place the limeade in a medium pan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the limeade and let it bloom for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Transfer the pan to the stove and cook on low heat until the limeade is dissolved, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the tequila, triple sec and agave syrup. Pour the liquid evenly between 10 two-ounce shot cups or glasses.
  4. Transfer the cups to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
  5. Place the salt and sugar on a plate and stir to combine.
  6. Dip the rim of a shot cup into water, then place the rim into the salt and sugar mixture.
  7. Repeat the process with all the Jello shots. Garnish with a small lime slice, then serve.

Notes

  • Add the salt and sugar rim and lime garnish right before serving for best results.
  • Place all the shots on a rimmed baking sheet. This makes it easy to transfer them to and from the refrigerator.
  • Use a measuring spoon or turkey baster to fill your shot cups without spilling.
  • If your limeade contains a lot of pulp, you may want to strain it before you use it.
  • If you have trouble getting the sugar and salt to stick to the rims of your cups, try dipping the rims in light corn syrup instead of water.
