How to Make Vegan Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots for Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is only 5 days away and drinking is the game. However, I love the idea and fun of a jello shots. Typically jello shots are made with jello that is made with gelatin which is a nearly transparent, faintly yellow, odorless, and almost tasteless glutinous substance obtained byboiling in water the ligaments, bones, skin, etc., of animals, and forming the basis of jellies, glues, and the like (which isn’t vegan or vegetarian). If you have recipe you would like to see me make, let me know in the comments below.

How to make Vegan Strawberry Margarita Jello Shots for Cinco de Mayo

 

This made me want to start experimenting with other thickeners to make a vegan jello shot. I started to playing with pectin, which is a white, amorphous, colloidal carbohydrate of high molecular weight occurring in ripe fruits, especially inapples, currants, etc., and used in fruit jellies, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics for its thickening andemulsifying properties and its ability to solidify to a gel.
