Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) pink champagne (dry or semi-dry)
- 3 tablespoons (21 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon edible glitter (food-safe, cosmetic-grade, pink or silver)
- Optional: a few drops pink food coloring
- Optional: mint leaves or small berries for garnish
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (21 grams) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes spongy.
- While the gelatin blooms, combine ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar with 1 cup (240 ml) water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm sugar water and whisk until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes, ensuring no granules remain.
- Pour in 1 bottle (750 ml) of chilled pink champagne and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir gently to combine. If using food coloring, add a few drops now and mix until desired shade is reached.
- Arrange shot cups on a baking sheet for stability. Carefully pour the mixture into each cup, filling about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of edible glitter on top of each cup.
- Transfer the baking sheet with cups to the refrigerator. Let them set for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm but slightly jiggly.
- Just before serving, add a small mint leaf or a tiny berry on top if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
If gelatin doesn’t set properly, reduce champagne to ½ bottle and top off with sparkling water for firmer jello. Use only food-safe edible glitter. Serve chilled but allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor. Silicone molds preferred for easy removal.
