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

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.
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.
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.
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.
Fill Cups: Pour the gelatin mixture into each cup gradually, covering the strawberries almost completely to let them suspend in the jello.
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.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, chilled champagne and ginger ale.
Be careful not to boil the mixture to preserve the champagne’s bubbles and flavor.
You can substitute lemon juice with fresh lime juice for a slightly different citrus note.
These jello shots should be consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
Use small plastic or glass cups for easy serving and portion control.
