These champagne jello shots are the perfect party treat for New Year’s Eve. They’re quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients for a bubbly, festive dessert that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup champagne or prosecco (chilled)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (3 oz) box of flavored jello (raspberry, strawberry, or pomegranate)
  • 1 (0.25 oz) packet unflavored gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Instructions

  1. Bloom the unflavored gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes without stirring.
  2. Dissolve the flavored jello: In a medium mixing bowl, pour the 1 cup of boiling water over the box of flavored jello. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until every grain is dissolved.
  3. Add the bloomed gelatin: Add the bloomed unflavored gelatin to the hot jello mixture. Whisk until completely incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the sugar: If using sugar, add it now and whisk until dissolved.
  5. Let it cool slightly: Set the bowl aside and let it cool for about 10 minutes. The mixture should be warm, not hot.
  6. Add the champagne: Slowly pour in the chilled champagne while whisking gently. Do not whisk too vigorously to preserve the bubbles.
  7. Fill your molds or dish: If using plastic shot cups, arrange them on a baking sheet and fill each cup about 3/4 full. If using a baking dish, pour the mixture in and tilt gently to spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate: Carefully transfer to the refrigerator and let set for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  9. Check for doneness: After 4 hours, give one a gentle jiggle. It should wobble like a firm mattress, not slosh like water.
  10. Serve and enjoy: If using shot cups, peel off the lid and serve. If using a baking dish, run a knife around the edges, invert onto a cutting board, and cut into cubes.

Notes

For best results, use cold champagne and let the jello mixture cool before adding it. Blooming the unflavored gelatin is essential for proper setting. If shots don’t set, reheat gently and add more gelatin. These can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
