How to make Champagne Jello Shots!
Place about 20 plastic shot glasses onto a baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, add the champagne, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Sprinkle the gelatin on top of the mixture, but do not mix. Allow it to bloom for 3 minutes.
Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat. Continually stir the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Do not allow it to come to a boil.
Remove from heat. Stir in the ginger ale, and allow the fizzing to stop before pouring it into plastic cups.
This is easiest to do if you can use a container with a spout. Cover the containers with covers, but make sure that the liquid doesn’t touch the lid.
Place pan in the fridge for up to 3 hours to fully set.
Before serving, place glitter or sprinkles on top.
Tips for making Champagne Jello Shots!
- Swap out the champagne with sparkling cider for a kid-friendly nonalcoholic version.
- It’s best to add the sprinkles after the jello is set, preferably just before serving. The sprinkles will absorb the moisture from the jello so you don’t want to add it too early.
