Champagne Infused Jello Shots!
Remember when jello shots were the coolest thing EVER at a party? I sure do. I mean, when someone came out with a tray of jello shots in little plastic dixie cups it was like the best thing in the world.
Now if you came out with a bunch of jello shots I might just look at you funny. Because we’re not 20 anymore, but hey, some of you reading this right now might just be 20…so please, read on.
But come out with these Champagne Jello Shots at a Christmas party and I’m all in. They’re fun to eat, fun to serve and even just fun to look at! best of all they are so easy to make, you’ll be making these jello shots for every holiday!
How Do You Make Jello Shots?
Basically what you’re doing in following the jello jigglers recipe on the box so you end up with a firmer jell-o shot that holds together.
Then what you do is replace some (or all) of the water with your alcohol of choice. A lot of people use vodka to make jell-o shots, maybe even Fireball…But today we’re using champagne…because it’s the holidays and all…and these Christmas jello shots are right up my alley.
Depending on how boozy you want this jello shots recipe to be, you can actually add booze to each layer. Maybe Fireball whiskey for the red layer, vodka for the green layer and then champagne on top?
Moonshine would ALSO be great in a jello shot recipe! I can keep on going, but let’s get back to these Champagne Jello Shots.
There are three layers in these, it’s hard to see the top layer because the colors kind overtake the clear but if you look at the top you’ll see a clear layer, which is the champagne layer.
For that layer, I used clear gelatin and added champagne instead of water. You’ll need a cup and a half for the recipe, I’m sure you’ll drink the rest.. You can decorate your jello shots any way you like, or leave them plain. Mine have silver sprinkles that I thought would look like champagne bubbles.
But don’t forget – you can can take this basic layered jello shot recipe and swap out the colors, the decorations, the booze – even the shape!
Can You Make These Jello Shots Ahead Of Time?
Definitely! But there’s one trick to doing so. Don’t add any of the sprinkles or decorations to the top of these jello shots if you’re making them ahead of time. The sprinkles might melt slightly after a few hours and that’s not very festive looking!
When you’re ready to cut and serve, use water to very lightly wet the top of the jello and then add the sprinkles. The water will make the sprinkles stick to the jello so they don’t go flying everywhere and they will still look picture perfect!
Serve these boozy jello shots right next to your delicious champagne cocktails! Because it’s the holidays…the more champagne the better!
