And who is coming to your rescue in the Jello shot department...? That would be me. It is a wacky alcohol delivery system and sometimes that just feels right. I made some for a friend's Mexican themed b-day party a while back and they were a hit, very potent though. I can't get flavored jello here so I went for this recipe:
Margarita Jelly Shot
1 ounce lime juice
1 ½ ounces simple syrup
1 ¼ ounces unflavored gelatin package
Mix into a measuring cup or bowl and let sit for one minute then microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Now add the following ingredients:
3 ounces Tequila
2 ounces Cointreau
drops of yellow food coloring (optional for presentation)
Stir the mixture thoroughly and then pour into an ice tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (Overnight would be best.) This should make 8 1 ounce servings.
OK, now I have to go take cover somewhere before the good taste posse comes to get me
