Margarita Shots!

Margarita Shots

I used kitchen shears to cut out the pulp.  Then a spoon finish up.  Cut a small circle off the bottom so they'll stand up.  Make sure not to cut through the pulp!

Next, salt the rim, just like you would a glass...

Then fill with you favorite Margarita shot, or just tequila.  I use Baha Bob's sugar free mix with Patron & Grand Marnier.  OR, I skip the mix and just use the lime juice from the limes I cut with a splash of Club Soda.  Cheers & Enjoy!
