Description
Celebrate New Year’s Eve with these fun and festive Champagne Jello Shots topped with colorful sprinkles. They are the perfect playful treat for your party.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Champagne (chilled)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vodka or white rum (optional, for extra kick)
- Food coloring (optional, to match your theme)
- Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Pour the cold water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, heat about 1/4 cup of the Champagne over medium heat until warm. Do not boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the sugar until it completely dissolves into the warm Champagne.
- Add the gelatin mixture to the warm Champagne and sugar mixture. Whisk gently until the gelatin is fully dissolved and there are no granules left.
- Stir in the remaining cold Champagne and the optional alcohol until combined. Add a few drops of food coloring now if you are using it.
- Carefully pour the mixture into small plastic shot cups or silicone molds.
- Place the shots in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until completely set.
- Just before serving, top each Champagne Jello Shot with a generous amount of sprinkles.
Notes
- For non-alcoholic shots, skip the optional vodka/rum and use sparkling white grape juice instead of Champagne.
- If you prefer a stronger alcohol flavor, add the vodka/rum after the gelatin is dissolved and the mixture is slightly cooled.
- Clean up any spills immediately, as Jello can stain surfaces.
- Make these the day before your party to save time.
