Champagne Jello Squares recipe

Toast your celebration with champagne jello squares for a fun twist at the party

Happy almost new year! I have the most festive recipe to share that’s perfect for your New Years Eve celebration: champagne jello squares. This is my version of a recipe I saw on the Food Network a few weeks ago.

I made this for our annual Christmas party and it was a big hit! A few times during the party I circulated with a tray in hand and let guests grab a square {or 3} for a fun and festive touch to the night. I also included these on my New Years Eve late night party buffet.

What I love about these champagne jello squares is that they’re a whimsical but elevated approach to the traditional jello shooters. The color is a light gold so it looks pretty in a more sophisticated party atmosphere, and you can serve it as individual squares on a tray, or in mini cocktail glasses as I’ve done here.

As usual, we use the term “champagne” as a blanket statement to cover any sparkling wine, Cave, or Prosecco. Since this recipes calls for adding sugar to the plain gelatin, I suggest you use a Brut or extra dry variety.

Champagne Jello Squares recipe

• 1 box plain gelatin {4 packets} + 2 cups water
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 1/2 cups Brut sparkling wine, Champagne, Cava, or Prosecco
• 1 cup club soda
• 3 Tablespoons Chambord liqueur

Prepare gelatin according to package directions, using the 2 cups of water. Pour mixture into a mixing bowl, over sugar, stirring to dissolve sugar.

Let cool until warm to touch, and add sparkling wine, club soda, and liqueur; stir to combine.

Pour mixture into an 11 x 13 inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or over night, until set.

Once set, cut jello into bite-sized squares and serve.

TIP: Use a small spatula to help lift jello off the bottom of the baking dish, gently.

I hope you give these a try at your next adult celebration. It’s a great way to toast with a twist. Cheers!
