These Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots are so much fun! We used strawberry jello, tequila, and fresh limes as garnish! They are the perfect boozy treat for Cinco De Mayo, Fourth of July, Summertime, or any time if you love margaritas. We even added a salted rim to the little jello shot cups. These are seriously so cute and your party guests will love them.

Here’s how to make these fun jello shots!

Strawberry Margarita Jello Shot Ingredients:

• 6 oz. Strawberry Jello mix
• 2 cup boiling water
• 1 cup of tequila
• 1 cup of water, cold
• Margarita salt or coarse salt
• Fresh limes for garnish

This recipe makes (16) 2 oz. jello shots! We love this sized cup- it makes the perfect size jello shots to enjoy in one bite.

Equipment Needed-

• 2 oz. condiment cups (we find these on Amazon and at our local grocery store)
• A whisk- we love silicone whisks
• A medium sauce pan
• A measuring cup or another way to easily pour your jello into the cups
• A cutting board and a sharp knife for slicing limes

How to Make Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots

These are so easy to make!

Step 1: Whisk together 2 cups boiling water and Strawberry jello mix, stirring until jello is dissolved.

Step 2: Stir in 1 cup cold water and 1 cup tequila.

Step 3: Take each condiment cup and run a lime wedge along the rim of the cup, and then dip them into your margarita salt.

Step 4: Pour jello into the cups. Move the cups to the refrigerator to chill for about 4 hours, or until jello is set.

Step 5: Garnish with half of a fresh lime slice, or you can use small wedges.

Tips & Tricks

• Place the shots onto a baking sheet for easy moving to the refrigerator.
• Make these into Strawberry Lime Margarita Jello shots by swapping 1/2 cup of the cold water with 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice.
• You can also add Triple Sec! Do 3/4 cup tequila and 1/4 cup triple sec in the jello mixture. I always encourage customizing these to your own personal tastes. Just be careful on the alcohol amount. While you might want strong jello shots, if you add too much tequila or other alcohol, they may not set up properly.
• You can do a coarse sugar rim instead of a salt rim, if you prefer.
• Take these up a notch by grating some lime zest over top of each cup.
• You can make these with classic margarita flavor with our Lime Margarita Jello Shots made with margarita mix and full of lime flavors.
• If the salt or sugar doesn’t stick well with the lime juice on the rim, you can also use corn syrup to really ensure that your rim sticks.

This is such a yummy jello shot recipe, and they are the perfect fun treats for your next party. Jello shots are always a huge hit, and this Strawberry Margarita jello shots recipe is so festive.
