Ginger Margarita Squares (Jello-Shots)

By stancec44

Ginger simple syrup adds a bit of Asian-inspired flavor to these mouth-puckering Jell-O shots that turn the classic margarita on its head.

Ingredients

• ¾ cups reposado tequila
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• ½ cups ginger simple syrup
• 2 envelopes Knox gelatin

Preparation

Step 1

Put lime juice into a 1-qt. saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow gelatin to soak for 1-2 minutes. Heat over very low heat until gelatin dissolves, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in tequila and simple syrup. Pour into 8” x 4” loaf pan or ice cube trays and refrigerate until set. Cut into 1” squares; garnish with shredded mint leaves.
