These easy champagne jello shots combine bubbly champagne with a playful jello texture for a quick, crowd-pleasing festive treat perfect for parties and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chilled champagne or sparkling wine (preferably brut style)
  • 2 tablespoons (14 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
  • ยฝ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ยฝ cup (120 ml) boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Fresh berries or edible glitter for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour ยฝ cup (120 ml) boiling water into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (14 g) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Whisk the gelatin gently until fully dissolved and clear. Warm gently over a double boiler if needed, but do not boil.
  3. Stir in ยฝ cup (100 g) granulated sugar while the gelatin mixture is still warm until completely dissolved.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) chilled champagne and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice. Add ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  5. Slowly pour the champagne mixture into the warm gelatin-sugar mixture, whisking continuously to prevent bubbles and ensure smooth texture.
  6. Immediately transfer the mixture into shot glass molds or small silicone cups, leaving a little space at the top.
  7. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.
  8. Once set, gently pop the jello shots out of their molds and garnish with fresh berries or edible glitter if desired.

Notes

Do not rush chilling to avoid wobbly shots. Bloom gelatin properly for best setting. Use chilled champagne to help gelatin set. Pour champagne mixture slowly to prevent bubbles. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days. Not recommended to freeze.
