Margarita Jello Shots

My mom made these as a fun Christmas cocktail. Unlike me, most of my friends experienced these in their youth. They enjoyed sharing their various techniques with the newbie. I found this recipe preferable to the traditional vodka shots. They go down a bit easier and are a fantastic accompaniment to the HeHeOle Casserole.

1. The plastic cups were purchased at Target near the gladware and ziploc bags. They had lids which is perfect for preventing spills as the jello hardens.
