INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE CHAMPAGNE JELL-O SHOTS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the champagne shots (the exact measurements, detailed instructions and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):

• Fresh lemon juice – can use any type of juice such as grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, orange juice, apple juice, or ginger ale.
• Bottle of champagne of choice – Prosecco or sparkling wine work great
• Granulated sugar
• Unflavored gelatin
• Vodka
• Edible glitter – can also use gold sprinkles or silver sprinkles

HOW TO MAKE

1. Grease a bread loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. To a medium saucepan, add the lemon juice, champagne and granulated sugar. Mix until combined.
3. Sprinkle the gelatin overtop the champagne mixture. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, this will allow the gelatin mixture to bloom.
4. Turn the stove on to low heat for 3-4 minutes, mixing occasionally to dissolve the gelatin.
5. Once fully dissolved, place saucepan in fridge to allow the mixture to completely cool.
6. Stir in the vodka and remaining champagne and pour into the prepared loaf pan. Let set overnight, or at least for 3-4 hours.
7. Once they’re set, run a knife along the edge of the pan. Flip the pan upside-down onto a cutting board and cut into 18 squares using a sharp knife.
8. Top with edible gold glitter or gold sprinkles. Enjoy!

STORING THE BOOZY JELLO SHOTS

1. Refrigeration is Key:
   • Keep your Champagne Jello Shots with Vodka refrigerated until you’re ready to serve or enjoy them. This ensures they maintain their delightful texture and taste.
2. Cover for Freshness:
   • If you have any leftovers, cover the shot glasses or transfer them to an airtight container. This prevents the Jello shots from absorbing any odors from the refrigerator.
3. Avoid Freezing:
   • While Champagne Jello Shots with Vodka are chilled treats, it’s best to avoid freezing them. Freezing can alter the texture and may diminish the effervescent qualities of the Champagne.
4. Consume Promptly:
   • For the best experience, consume your Jello shots within a few days of making them. The fresher they are, the more vibrant their flavors and visual appeal.
5. Garnish Just Before Serving:
   • If you’ve garnished the shots with fresh berries or edible glitter, add these just before serving to maintain their freshness and visual charm.
