In order to make these jello shots, you’ll need the following.

- Jello. We used lime for a classic margarita flavor.
- Limes. For garnish. You can leave this off but it looks more fun this way!
- Salt. For the rim and also optional garnish you can leave off if you want. You could also replace it with sugar.
