Made with ginger ale and champagne (or sparkling wine), these jiggly squares are a classy twist on a classic party favorite. The recipe is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, allowing you to enjoy the festivities without any last-minute rush.
To make these jello shots, you'll need ginger ale (or 7up as a substitute), champagne (or sparkling wine), unflavored gelatin, vodka, and a silicone tray or cups for molding.
Start by combining ginger ale and champagne in a pot and adding unflavored gelatin. Allow the gelatin to soak for two minutes before heating the mixture over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling. Stir occasionally to dissolve the gelatin and prevent the sugar from burning. Next, add vodka and more champagne to the mixture, stirring lightly. Let it cool before transferring it to cups or a silicone tray greased with vegetable oil. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours or overnight until fully set.
Once set, decorate the jello shots with sanding sugar or other decorative elements to add a festive touch. Serve them in cubes or cups, and enjoy the elegant and delicious Champagne Jello Shots at your New Year's Eve celebration! Cheers to a happy and healthy new year!
