These strawberry champagne jello shots combine the fizz of champagne with the sweet burst of ripe strawberries for a quick, easy, and festive treat perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled champagne or sparkling wine
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (about 3 packets)
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional garnish: whole strawberries or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull 1 cup of strawberries, then finely chop them. Set aside.
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until gelatin swells and becomes spongy.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup champagne over low heat. Stir gently until sugar dissolves completely but do not boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour the softened gelatin into the warm champagne and sugar mixture. Whisk gently to dissolve any lumps.
  5. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and the chopped strawberries.
  7. Slowly fold in the remaining 2 cups chilled champagne gently to keep the bubbles intact.
  8. Ladle the mixture into silicone molds or mini cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Place on a baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm but still jiggly.
  10. Pop the jello shots out of molds, garnish with a small strawberry or mint leaf if desired, and serve chilled.

Notes

Do not boil the champagne to preserve bubbles. Fold chilled champagne gently to keep fizz. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best set and flavor. Use frozen thawed strawberries if fresh are unavailable. For non-alcoholic version, substitute champagne with sparkling grape juice or soda water. Avoid freezing jello shots as they become watery.
