INGREDIENTS

    • 1 (3-ounce) box Strawberry Jell-O
    • 1 1/4 cups water, divided
    • 8 ounces tequila
    • 6 ounces Cointreau
    • Kosher salt
    • Lime, cut into triangles

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Cut the bottoms of the strawberries off so they stand upright. Make sure to not cut off too much or the strawberries will leak. Use a huller or melon baller to scoop out the center of the strawberry, creating a cup. Use a paper towel to pat the strawberry dry.

    2. Boil 1 cup of water in a saucepan, then add in Jell-O powder and whisk until the powder is completely dissolved.

    3. Combine tequila, Cointreau, and 1/4 cup of cold water. Add to the Jell-O, and stir to combine.

    4. Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture into the strawberries, and chill overnight. Before serving, rim the strawberry tops with salt and garnish with a lime triangle.
