What You'll Need
Before you get started, you'll need to gather a few ingredients:
- 1 cup Margarita Mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package strawberry Jello
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup Cointreau or Triple Sec
- 20-24 small strawberries
- Lime wedges and salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients, it's time to get started:
- Cut the tops off of your strawberries and hollow out the middle with a knife or small spoon. Make sure not to cut through the bottom.
- In a large bowl, combine the boiling water and strawberry Jello. Stir until the Jello is completely dissolved.
- Add the Margarita Mix, tequila, and Cointreau or Triple Sec to the bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
- Carefully pour the Jello mixture into each of the hollowed-out strawberries. Place them in a dish or on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the Jello is set.
- When you're ready to serve, slice a small piece off the bottom of each strawberry so that it can stand upright. Garnish each shot with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt if desired.
Tips and Tricks
If you want to make sure your Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots come out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:
- Make sure your strawberries are firm and not too ripe. This will make them easier to hollow out and will help them hold their shape when filled with Jello.
- Be sure to let the Jello mixture cool for a few minutes after adding the boiling water. This will prevent the strawberries from becoming too soft and mushy when filled.
- If you don't have Margarita Mix on hand, you can substitute with equal parts lime juice and simple syrup.
- For a more intense tequila flavor, you can add an extra splash of tequila to the Jello mixture.

These Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots with Margarita Mix are a fun and delicious way to enjoy your favorite cocktail. With just a few simple ingredients and some hollowed-out strawberries, you can create a tasty treat that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
