The Perfect Addition to Your Mexican-Inspired Menu

These shots are so festive and pretty with the green lime and red jello but the fun fact is that mine are made with silver tequila so it’s really like doing a shot!

If you’re planning a Christmas get-together what is more fun than a Mexican theme?

Mexican food is a blast to eat and serve, especially with my Christmas Margaritas.

But you’re the hostess with the mostess so you pull out all the punches and after dinner or appetizers, you come out with a tray of these babies!

These shots are like miniature margaritas, bringing a touch of Mexican flair to your holiday celebration.

A Bit of Work, But Totally Worth It

These shots are a bit labor-intensive but the result is worth every minute it takes to clean out all those limes!

Save the insides of the lime to use for the Mexican food you’re making.

Keep in mind if you use a small 3 oz box of jello you should get at about 50 shots so you need to buy about 12-15 limes.

Of course, if you don’t want to make this many just fill what you want to serve and after your guests leave just sit down with a spoon and eat the rest out of the bowl – you deserve it- you just threw an amazing party!
