With just a few ingredients and a nifty silicone skull mold, you can make these scary margarita Jell-O shots that are the perfect, boozy treat for your Halloween spread. Serve them as part of a Halloween party or enjoy them while binge watching scary movies. You might just attract some ghoulish company with these electrifyingly green treats!
The secret to a truly creepy jell-o shot? This handy skull-shaped ice mold, made of silicone for easy cleanup. Pro-tip: you’ll want to buy three of them in order to make a full batch of this recipe at one time.
Don’t skip the non-stick spray! It’ll make unmolding your skulls a much less sinister experience.
Limeade and unflavored gelatin form the base of this witchy brew, so give them a moment to properly mingle.
Time to stir in the spirits — AKA tequila, triple sec and freshly-squeezed lime juice for a thrilling, chilling tang.
Add a dash of electric green food coloring to give the skulls an otherworldly glow.
Carefully pour the margarita mixture into the closed skull molds and banish them to the fridge for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight) to fully set.
Release the skulls from their chilly tomb and gently unmold them — they’re almost ready to wreak havoc.
Just before serving, cover a plate with a layer of kosher salt and place the skulls on top for the complete margarita effect. Happy haunting!
