If you’re into the sweet-salty-tart magic of Margaritas and are looking for a way to turn up your next party, these jiggly Jello shots are the answer. Like many of its classic cocktails-turned-jiggler brethren, the Margarita is simple to make and perfectly mimics its liquid counterpart. To fully capture the essence of this cocktail in a wiggly, jiggly shot, all you need to do is adjust the measurements of the tequila, lime juice and simple syrup and add a packet of unflavored gelatin to the mix (yes, it’s really that easy). The result is as flavorful and easy-going as the original. The only downside is waiting a few hours for the gelatin to set—good thing you have all the ingredients on hand to mix up a Margarita in the meantime.
