Jello Shots Made from Champagne

Still living up to the new year spirit, here’s another eat from that leftover (or fresh) bubbly beverage Champagne. Jello shots. This version of the recipe is made even more festive by using lots of sparkly sanding sugar or add food coloring to bring a little color.

Champagne jello shots
Yields 12-15 shots

Ingredients:

8 ounces Champagne
7 ounces lemon-lime soda, divided
3 packets unflavored gelatin
Food coloring (if desired)
Sanding sugar

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan add Champagne and 2 ounces of the lemon-lime soda.
2. Sprinkle gelatin on top and let sit for at least 2 minutes.
3. Put the saucepan on medium-low heat and heat until the gelatin is dissolved. Do not let the mixture boil, you’re just letting the gelatin dissolve.
4. Remove from heat and add in remaining lemon-lime soda.
5. If you want to add color, simply add a few drops of food color and stir.
6. Add jello to small single-serving containers or a small baking dish. You can also add your jello to a silicone ice tray if you own one. That is what we used.
7. Put the jello in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until completely set up.
8. Cut jello into squares and carefully remove it from the container. Dip the top in sanding sugar if desired.
9. Keep shots refrigerated until ready to eat.

Note: It’s best to use large crystal sanding sugar so it will not dissolve easily. You can find sanding sugar in most craft or baking supply stores.
