Tri Berry Jello Shots
This recipe creates a vibrant, boozy treat where tequila-infused gelatin is combined with a medley of fresh berries and tangy lime juice, served in mini salt-rimmed cups. It's a playful, adult twist on the classic jello shot, balancing the sweetness of the berries with the kick of the tequila and the zestiness of the lime.
