Jello shots without the trash

Step 3: Lime Margarita Jello Shots

Ingredients:

Limes and / or lemons
Lime jelly powder
Triple sec
Tequila

Wash the limes and lemons. Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice. Turn the lime halves inside out and remove the pulpy bits. For lemons you can use a knife to cut out the insides.

Mix the jelly powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 1/3 cup Triple Sec and 2/3 cup Tequila. Pour the liquid into the lime and lemon halves and chill in the fridge until set.

Before serving, cut the lime and lemon cups in half to make wedges. Right before eating you can dip the edges in sugar (like rimming a glass)

Another reason to like eating citrus foods :)

You could probably candy the rinds as well and then they'd be fully edible.... Hmmm.....

This is an awesome idea!! OK.... Gotta make some now bye!

Could one add the lime/lemon juice & pulp to the liquid for added zing or would it ruin the over all outcome?

If it shouldn't be added for one reason or another, do you have any other gadget concoctions in which it can be used (so it doesn't go to waste)?

I tried adding the lime juice to one batch and they turned out too sour for my tastes. You might be able to compensate by adding more sugar, but I just kept the juice to use in another recipe.
