Here is a thing that you might like to eat because it’s a tiny strawberry cup filled with super-boozy Jell-O.
What? You’d like a million of them, you say?
You will need: Strawberry Jell-O, water, strawberries, tequila, Cointreau, sugar, and a lime.
And about 4 and a half hours, at least, for the Jell-O to solidify. I know, it’s the worst. Sorry.
1. Cut the top off the strawberry. Make sure you hold it parallel to the board.
Balance it at the point where it is widest, parallel to the cutting board, to cut off the top.
(Don’t hold it tip down when you cut it.)
(Otherwise, when you stand it up, it won’t be flat — it’ll look like this.)
2. Then cut off a tiny part of the tip so that strawberry can stand upright.
(Make sure not to cut off too much or you’ll create a hole at the bottom.)
3. Then take a melon baller or small measuring spoon and carefully scoop out the inside.
4. Yay.
5. Put them all on a baking sheet and dry them a little with a paper towel.
6. Combine Jell-O mix with 3/4 cup boiling water and stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve.
7. Measure out 1 cup of tequila.
8. And 3/4 cup of cointreau.
9. Stir booze into Jell-O mixture.
10. Pour Jell-O/booze mixture into strawberry cups.
11. Fill them up as much as possible, because Jell-O shrinks when it solidifies.
12. Refrigerate four hours or until firm.
13. Obviously the garnishes aren’t ESSENTIAL. But if you want: When you’re ready to serve them, zest lime into a plate of sugar.
Yes, SUGAR. We tried it with salt on the rim, and that was gross.
14. Make your tiny lime garnishes.
15. Wet the side of the solidified Jell-O shot with lime or water.
16. And roll in your sugary lime zest.
OMG adorbz
You don’t really need to eat the lime, but its presence is recommended as it will add to the amount of praise you’ll receive from friends and Instagram followers.
