Ingredients

  • 1 cup champagne
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
  • 1 cup ginger ale
  • 10 fresh sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the strawberries and place about four slices into each cup for the jello shots.
  2. Step 2: In a saucepan, combine champagne, sugar, and lemon juice. Sprinkle in the gelatin while whisking to avoid clumps.
  3. Step 3: Bring the mixture just barely to a boil while whisking continuously, then turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the ginger ale and allow the bubbles to fizz out completely. Once the fizz has settled, pour the mixture into a liquid measuring cup.
  5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into each cup until the strawberries are nearly covered.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate the cups for 3 to 4 hours, or until the jello shots are fully set and solid.

Tips & Variations

  • For a sweeter flavor, increase the sugar by 1 tablespoon or use flavored ginger ale instead of plain.
  • To make them alcohol-free, substitute the champagne with sparkling white grape juice.
  • Add a splash of fresh mint or basil for a unique herbal twist.

Storage

Store the jello shots covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy them chilled straight from the fridge. If they soften too much, return them to the fridge to firm up before serving.

How to Serve

The cups are placed close together on a dark surface with scattered yellow powder, changed to a white marbled texture in the description. The overall look is fresh and colorful with a neat and simple arrangement. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of sparkling wine?

Yes, you can substitute champagne with prosecco, cava, or any sparkling wine you prefer. It will change the flavor slightly but still taste delicious.

How firm should the jello shots be before serving?

They should be fully set and firm to the touch, usually after 3 to 4 hours in the fridge. If they are still too soft, chill them longer until they hold their shape well.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquids and Gelatin

  • 1 cup champagne
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup ginger ale

Sweeteners and Gelatin

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 envelopes Knox gelatin

Fruit

  • 10 fresh sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries thinly and distribute about four slices into each serving cup to ensure each shot includes the fresh, fruity flavor.
  2. Combine Liquids and Gelatin: In a saucepan, combine the champagne, sugar, and lemon juice. Sprinkle the Knox gelatin over the mixture while whisking continuously to prevent clumps.
  3. Heat Mixture: Gently bring the mixture to just below boiling point while whisking to fully dissolve the gelatin and sugar, then immediately turn off the heat and remove from the stove to avoid boiling.
  4. Add Ginger Ale: Pour in the ginger ale and let the mixture sit until the fizz subsides to prevent bubbles in your jello shots. Once settled, transfer the liquid to a measuring glass for easy pouring.
  5. Fill Cups: Pour the gelatin mixture into each cup gradually, covering the strawberries almost completely to let them suspend in the jello.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set and firm to the touch.
