Instructions – How to make it:

Strawberry Jelly / Jello

  • Combine Jelly mix with 1 cup hot water and stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve
  • Stir tequila and cointreau into the Jelly mixture.
  • Put aside to cool while your prepare the strawberries.

Strawberries

  • Balancing the strawberry on its side, parallel to the cutting board at the point where it is widest, cut off the top.
  • Still holding it the same way, cut off a tiny part of the strawberry's bottom tip so the berry can stand upright. Make sure not to cut off too much or you'll create a hole at the bottom. Repeat with all remaining strawberries.
  • Using a spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out the insides of the strawberries.

Garnish

  • Zest lime into a plate of sugar.
  • Slice lime into thin rounds, then cut into small wedges. You may also want to cut a small chunk through the center of each wedges flesh so they can balance on the tip of the strawberry.

Final steps

  • Wet the sides of the solidified Jelly shot with lime or water, roll in your sugar-lime zest, and garnish with lime wedge.
  • Using a container with a spout or a syringe, pour Jelly/booze mixture into strawberry cups. Fill them up as much as possible, because Jelly shrinks when it solidifies.
  • Refrigerate four hours or until firm.
