What is a Jello Shot and Why Should You Make Them With Wine
Jello Shots have been a party favorite for years and are considered the ultimate adult treat! But have you ever considered making them with wine? As a wine LOVER, I adore swapping vodka for wine and you know I’m using bottles from my favorite Pennsylvania winery, Benigna’s Creek Winery.
These boozy treats are a delicious twist on the classic Jello Shot, and offer a more sophisticated touch to any party. The addition of wine adds depth and complexity, creating a fruity and tangy flavor that perfectly compliments the gelatin when you whisk it in. I also love to add fresh fruit for texture and flavor, too.
They are also simple to make and require only a few ingredients, making them perfect for entertaining. So why not switch things up and give these adult treats a try? They are sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
Essential Ingredients for Sangria Jello Shots So They Taste Amazing!
Sangria is a traditional Spanish wine punch that has become a famous drink all over the world. When I make jello shots with sangria I like to blend juice with fruit to make something that’s super yummy and not too strong! Sometimes I make sangria with apple & ginger flavors, too. To make sangria wine jello shots, you’ll need a few essential ingredients.
Here’s what I always use in my sangria wine jello shots:
- Sangria wine – I like the Berry Delight and the Delight Rose wines from Benigna’s Creek Winery, but you could use any sweeter red blend wine
- Unflavored gelatin (I like this MUCH better than flavored jello)
- Juice (I like boiling cranberry juice, berry juice, or cherry juice instead of boiling water to dissolve the gelatin)
- Mandarin oranges
- Diced apples or berries, depending on the flavor you’re making!
Trust me, the fresh fruits will not only add a burst of flavor, but they’ll also make your jello shots look amazing and irresistible. With these essential ingredients, you’ll be on your way to making delightful sangria wine jello shots that will impress all of your friends.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Sangria Wine Jello Shots with a Gelatin Mixture
Sangria wine jello shots are a fun and creative way to enjoy your favorite wine in a new form. Not only are they visually appealing, but the process of making them is just as enjoyable. Here’s how I make them, step by step:
- Pour a small amount of the wine over three tablespoons of the gelatin in a mixing bowl and allow it to bloom. Mix together to incorporate, it will look a bit lumpy.
- Next, heat the juice over medium heat in a small saucepan until steaming/just boiling. Remove from the heat, add the remaining wine and whisk it into the wine/gelatin mixture to combine until the gelatin completely dissolves. Don’t boil the wine, you’ll cook out a lot of the alcohol.
- Lay out small plastic cups with lids or plastic shot glasses on a baking sheet (or two). Add fruit to the bottom of the cups.
- Pour the wine jello mixture over the fruit. Top with lids.
- Slide the trays into the fridge to set for at least 2-3 hours until set.
- Enjoy responsibly!
