Fiesta with the best-a! Start your Cinco de Mayo fun with some easy and colorful margarita shots. Tequila-soaked Life Savers Gummies get skewered on a spoon and served with a dash of salt. And if that’s not yummy enough, you get to chase it all down with a shot of margarita cocktail. Olé!
These take only a few simple ingredients, but plan ahead. The Life Savers Gummies need to soak in the tequila for 24 hours before serving.
Soak your colorful gummies in tequila. I used about 2 cups (just enough to cover them).
Refrigerate for 24 hours or until the gummies have soaked up all the tequila.
Assemble the shots by skewering the gummies onto the mini appetizer spoons. Fill the glasses with chilled, premixed margaritas.
Place the gummy spoons on top, and add a dash of margarita salt to the spoon heads.
