Ingredients
1cupchampagneor other sparkling wine
1tablespoongranulated sugar
1tablespoonlemon juice
2tablespoonsunflavored gelatin(2 envelopes)
1cupginger ale
Edible glittercrystallized sugar or star sprinkles, suggestions in post
Instructions
On a parchment lined baking sheet, line out your 20 plastic shot glasses and set aside.
In a small saucepan, add the champagne, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Carefully, add the gelatin powder on top of the mixture, but do not mix it in. Allow it to sit for 3 minutes.
Turn the heat on the stove to medium-low heat. Continually stir the mixture in the pot until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Do so carefully and quickly, so it does not come to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the ginger ale. Once the carbonation fizzing from the soda stops, pour the mixture into the shot glasses. This is easiest to do if you can use a container with a spout or use a funnel Add the lids, and make sure that the liquid doesn’t touch the lid.
Place the jello shots in small plastic cups on pan in the refrigerator for up to 3 hours to fully set.
Add glitter or sprinkles in the jello before serving.
Enjoy!
Notes
Depending on the size of your plastic jello shot cups, you may make more or less shots.
Always, always, always, check labels of your ingredients to ensure they're still safe.
if you don't have little cups, you can use a silicone mold to make bite size jell-o shots, or you can use a mini muffin pan.
To make these less messy, use a funnel, or a container with a pouring spout to pour the jello mixture into the shot cups.
If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use the stuff from the container. Although, we do think fresh has the best flavor.
Don't hesitate to use any remaining champagne in other recipes like pork chops with mini potatoes.
Wait to add the sprinkles until after the jello has set. The sprinkles or glitter will absorb the moisture from the jello and it won't turn out if you try to add them before setting in the fridge.
