{highly refined jello shots}


 

A few months ago, I saw a post about Jelly Test Kitchen on Martha Stewart's Everyday food blog and I have wanted to try out one of their many amazing recipes ever since.  Last weekend we had some friends over to check out our rooftop pool and have some tacos- what better to go with the tacos than cucumber margarita jello shots? I followed their recipe here.

I cannot stress enough how easy these were to make; in total it took me maybe 7 minutes.  The most time consuming part was tying the cucumber garnish around the shots: and truth be told, I would completely skip this step if I was you.  While the cucumber tie garnishes are super fancy and pretty in pictures, they didn't really taste all that great with the texture of the jello.  After we taste-tested one, I decided to just place a small sliver of peeled cucumber on top of the shots and this was far less time consuming and complimented the texture much better!
