June 16, 2013

INGREDIENTS: 1 box Strawberry Jell-o 4 oz Tres Agaves Blaco Tequila 2 oz Cointreau Sea Salt, for garnish As many strawberries as you need DIRECTIONS: Prep Strawberries: - Cut the bottoms of the strawberry flat to get them to stand upright. Do not cut off too much. We do not want a hole at the bottom. - Use a huller or apple corer to empty out the strawberry. - Once the strawberries have been emptied, use a towel to pat the outside of the strawberries dry. - Check each strawberry and make sure there is not a hole in the bottom before you start filling. Margarita Mix Instructions: - 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 cocktail shaker filled with ice. Add liqueur mixture to cold water and stir to combine. Then add cold liqueur 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 or use a moistened brush to wet the edge of the strawberries, dip and rotate the strawberries in salt to rim. Garnish with cut lime triangles to finish. Cheers!
