Tequila Slime Shooters

A cool, slimy cocktail for your halloween party!
Course Drinks

Ingredients

  • 1/3 Cup Water
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice (about 2-3 Limes)
  • 2-3 Drops Green Food Coloring
  • 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1/2 Cup Tequila
  • 9 Whole Rambutans

Instructions

  • Add water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, and swirl until dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes, and add the lime juice, green food coloring and Chia seeds.  Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from refrigerator, and add tequila, stirring until well incorporated.
  • To make the rambutan "cups", take a paring knife, and cut through the skin of the rambutan all around, being careful not to cut the flesh of the fruit that lies about 1/8" underneath the skin.  Remove the fruit, and reserve for another use. 
  • Place halves of rambutans on your serving platter, making sure that they're all level.  Stir the shooter mixture again, and transfer to a vessel that you can easily pour out of, like a pyrex glass measuring cup (with a spout).
  • Carefully pour the shot mixture in the rambutan halves.  Serve to your guests!

Notes

The little monster guy in the pic is a kiwano melon.  I took a paring knife to make eyes and a mouth - the insides are yellowish green and great for the effect!  Rambutan skins were used for the hair and eyebrows.
