These “adult only” bright green Jello shots are a favorite with our friends. A refreshing tequila treat served in just the right mini size.

On warm summer evenings we invite a few friends over, put on some soft jazz and set out appetizers, finger foods, light bites and cocktails. One request I get every time is to bring Jello shots.
Jello shots sit somewhere between dessert and cocktail — they’re easy to enjoy and have just enough kick from the liquor you use. That’s probably why they’re so popular at grown-up gatherings.
For this batch I made Lime Margarita Jello Shots. They turned out bright, refreshing and full of lime-and-tequila flavor. Everyone loved them, and I plan to take a tray to a friend’s outdoor anniversary party next month.
If you’re hosting an adults-only get-together, make a batch of these and enjoy — and please serve responsibly.
