Servings 18 servings (~1.5 ounce each)

Ingredients
  

  • ½ ounce (2 packets) unflavored gelatin
  • ½ cup vodka
  • 1 ½ cups champagne (or other dry sparkling wine, divided and chilled)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2-3 pinches edible glitter (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the unflavored gelatin to a heatproof bowl (preferably with a spout) and add the vodka and ½ cup of champagne. Set aside. 
  • Add the sugar, remaining champagne, and lemon juice to a small saucepan. 
  • Heat the saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer and the sugar is completely dissolved. (Don't boil.)
  • Remove from heat and pour the hot mixture into the heatproof bowl with the gelatin mixture. Whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved. 
  • Gently pour the mixture into jello shot cups, filling about ¾ of the way full. 
  • Allow to chill for at least 3 hours or until the gelatin is set. 
  • If using, add the edible glitter to a fine mesh sieve and gently tap the edge of the sieve to sift the glitter all over the tops of the jello shots. 
  • Chill until ready to serve. Add the lids to the little cups if you are making them in advance. 

Notes

Tips:
  • To make the jello shots slide out easier, you can lightly coat the small plastic cups with a little cooking spray before adding the jello mixture. 
  • For a lower ABV (alcohol by volume) option, replace the vodka with lemonade or more champagne instead. For a mocktail, replace the vodka and champagne with sparkling lemonade or apple cider. 
  • For a French 77 variation, replace the vodka with an additional ¼ cup of champagne and ¼ cup of elderflower simple syrup or liqueur, like St. Germain or St. Elder.
