I feel like the world has been screaming “JELLO SHOTS” to me lately. Ha! No seriously, I feel like they have been popping up everywhere.
First, last week I found this amazing looking recipe for Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots – that are made in little strawberries with a sugar rim. Ummm, hello! YUM! Click on the image below. The website has awesome step-by-step instructions.
Then, my friends made these “Mojito” Jell-O shots for a July 4th pool party. I wasn’t there, but I saw this picture (thanks Chelsea and Arden) pop up on Instagram and they look delicious! Recipe from A Beautiful Mess.
Then just yesterday my father-in-law sent my husband and I an email with 70 Jello Shot recipes! See! The universe is trying to tell me to eat some jello shots 🙂 And in the words of my father-in-law:
