Preparation
Step 1
Strawberry Prep:
* Cut the bottoms of the strawberry flat to get them to stand upright. When you do so, make sure that you do not cut off so much that there is 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.

* 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 liquour mixture to cold water and stir to combine.
* 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 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.
