Print Recipe

These quick non-alcoholic champagne jello shots are elegant, festive, and perfect for New Year’s Eve parties. Made with just four simple ingredients, they’re a crowd-pleasing dessert that looks like a science experiment gone right.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) non-alcoholic champagne (e.g., Fre or Sutter Home Fre)
  • 2 tablespoons (about 28 grams) unflavored gelatin powder (e.g., Knox)
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold water
  • ½ cup (120 ml) warm water (100-110°F)
  • Optional: food coloring, fresh berries, edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Pour cold water into a mixing bowl and sprinkle unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let sit for 5 minutes without stirring until it becomes a thick, spongy mass.
  2. Heat the water: Warm ½ cup of water in a small saucepan until it feels pleasantly warm (100-110°F), not hot.
  3. Dissolve the gelatin: Pour warm water over bloomed gelatin and whisk gently until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the sugar: Sprinkle sugar into the gelatin mixture and whisk until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Add the champagne: Slowly pour non-alcoholic champagne into the gelatin mixture in a steady stream while whisking gently until combined, about 30 seconds. Tiny bubbles should form.
  6. Fill the cups: Place jello shot cups on a baking sheet. Use a small funnel or spouted measuring cup to fill each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Add garnishes (optional): Drop a fresh berry or sprinkle edible glitter into each cup if desired.
  8. Refrigerate: Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm and wobbly.
  9. Check for doneness: After 4 hours, gently jiggle a shot. It should be firm, not liquidy. If still runny, refrigerate for another 1-2 hours.
  10. Serve and enjoy: Pop lids on or arrange on a tray. Serve cold straight from the fridge.

Notes

Use warm water (100-110°F) instead of boiling to preserve champagne bubbles. Bloom gelatin for exactly 5 minutes for smooth texture. Make ahead up to 5 days; flavors improve after a day. For vegan option, use 2 teaspoons agar-agar powder (boil in water for 2 minutes). Avoid flavored gelatin packets as they clash with champagne.
