Choose Your Method: 2-Ingredient or 3-Ingredient Jello Shots!

We believe in making party prep as easy as possible, which is why we’re offering two fantastic ways to create these irresistible jello shots. Pick the method that best suits your time and preference, and let’s get started!

Method 1: The Super Simple 2-Ingredient Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello Shots

This method is ideal for those who want maximum flavor with minimal effort. It relies on a pre-mixed margarita that already includes tequila, streamlining your prep time significantly.

Ingredients for 2-Ingredient Jello Shots:

• 1 cup Boiling Water
• 1 small box (3 oz) Strawberry Jell-O
• 1 cup Jose Cuervo Strawberry Lime Margarita (with tequila included)

How to Make 2-Ingredient Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello Shots:

1. In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the Strawberry Jell-O powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir vigorously for at least 2-3 minutes, ensuring the Jell-O is completely dissolved with no granules remaining.
2. Carefully add the 1 cup of Jose Cuervo Strawberry Lime Margarita (which already contains tequila) to the dissolved Jell-O mixture. Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined.
3. Pour approximately 1 ounce of the liquid jello mixture into each of your 12 preferred jello shot containers. Small plastic cups or traditional shot glasses work perfectly.
4. Chill the jello shots in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely firm and set.

Tip: Jose Cuervo offers a fantastic range of ready-to-serve margaritas, including Classic Lime, Mango, Watermelon, Grapefruit-Tangerine, and Coconut-Pineapple. Feel free to experiment with these different flavors to create unique margarita jello shot combinations!

Method 2: The Customizable 3-Ingredient Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello Shots

This method gives you more control over the type and amount of tequila, allowing for a personalized touch and a stronger, or milder, boozy kick, depending on your preference.

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Jello Shots:

• 1 cup Boiling Water
• 1 small box (3 oz) Strawberry Jell-O
• ½ cup Jose Cuervo Strawberry Lime Margarita Mix (no tequila)
• ½ cup Tequila (your preferred brand and type)

How to Make 3-Ingredient Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello Shots:

1. In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the Strawberry Jell-O powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the Jell-O is completely dissolved and smooth.
2. Add the ½ cup of Jose Cuervo Strawberry Lime Margarita Mix (without tequila) and ½ cup of your chosen tequila to the dissolved Jell-O mixture. Whisk everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are perfectly integrated.
3. Pour approximately 1 ounce of the jello shot mixture into each of your 12 preferred jello shot containers or small plastic cups.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the jello shots are completely firm.

Customize Your Mix: Jose Cuervo Margarita Mixes (without tequila) come in a variety of delicious flavors, including Classic Lime, Strawberry Lime, Mango, and Classic Lime Light. These provide excellent bases for countless jello shot experiments!

Bonus Flavor Boost: How to Get “Extra” Strawberry Flavor!

Want to supercharge the strawberry flavor in your jello shots? Here’s a clever hack: when you’re boiling the water, simply add a Strawberry Jolly Rancher candy to the boiling water and let it melt completely. The candy will dissolve, infusing the water with an intense, extra kick of strawberry flavor that will shine through in your finished Jell-O shots. It’s a simple trick that yields surprisingly delicious results!

If you’re looking for even more strawberry-infused fun, consider trying another delightful option like these Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Jello Shots. The party truly never has to stop when you have such amazing recipes at your fingertips!

Frequently Asked Questions About Jello Shots

How Many Jello Shots Per Box of Jell-O?

For this recipe, using a standard 3-ounce box of Jell-O will yield approximately 12 individual jello shots (1 ounce each). If you’re hosting a larger crowd and need more, simply use a 6-ounce box of Jell-O and double all other ingredients to make 24 shots.

How Long Do Jello Shots Take to Set?

Generally, jello shots require about 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator to fully set and become firm. The exact setting time can vary slightly depending on several factors:

• Container Size: Smaller plastic cups or shot glasses tend to set faster than larger molds or jigglier-style jello shots.
• Refrigerator Temperature: A colder refrigerator will help them set more quickly.
• Alcohol Content: Higher alcohol ratios can sometimes slightly extend setting time, but typically not significantly.

Always plan to make your jello shots a few hours in advance, or even the day before, to ensure they are perfectly firm and ready for serving.

Expert Tips for Serving and Presentation

Once your Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello Shots are perfectly set, it’s time to make them shine! Here are a few presentation and serving tips to elevate your party experience:

• Garnishes: A fresh lime wedge or a thin slice of strawberry perched on the rim of each shot adds a professional and appealing touch. You can also rim the cups with a bit of sugar or salt (like a traditional margarita) for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.
• Serving Tray: Arrange your jello shots neatly on a decorative tray. This makes them easy to transport and serve to your guests.
• Chilled Presentation: Keep them refrigerated until just before serving to maintain their firm texture and refreshing coolness.
• Easy Release: If using reusable shot glasses, a quick dip in warm water or a gentle squeeze can help release the jello shot easily. For disposable cups, a small spoon or even just a squeeze from the bottom works wonderfully.

These small touches can make a big difference, transforming a simple jello shot into a sophisticated, yet still incredibly fun, party treat.
