Is It Odd for a Recovering Alcoholic to Share Alcoholic Drink Recipes? Nahh.... Here's Strawberry Margarita Jell-o Shots!

It's not weird that a recovering alcoholic (almost 9 years sober!) is sharing a recipe for Jell-o shots, is it?  Nahhh... I didn't think so!  (And, no, I haven't tried these personally.  However, the person who shared the recipe swears they're the best thing ever.)

Strawberry Margarita Jell-o Shots

30 strawberries
1 box strawberry Jell-o
1 C hot water
8 oz. tequila
6 oz. cointreau
1/4 C cold water
Salt

Clean, hull, and hollow out approx. 30 strawberries.

Boil one cup of hot water in a saucepan, then add in Jell-o powder and whisk until powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Measure out 1/4 cup of cold water and set aside.

Combine tequila and Cointreau in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add liquour mixture to cold water and stir to combine. Then add cold liquour mixture to hot Jell-o mixture and stir to combine.

Pour final Jell-o mix into strawberries and chill overnight. Dip your finger in water, to wet the edge of the strawberries. Dip and rotate the strawberries in salt to rim.

Top with a small wedge of lime and ENJOY!
