When mixed with jello, the flavor of the champagne will be somewhat subdued, but it will still be noticeable and add a bit of sparkle and sophistication to the jello shots.

How Many Jello Shots Per Person For A Party?

If you are serving other drinks or food as well, you may want to adjust the number of jello shots accordingly. Our recipe scales well. Feel free to double or increase the recipe. Just keep the proportions exactly the same.

As a general rule, for a party where other alcohol is served, have enough tasty champagne jello shots for each guest to have one or two over the course of the event.

However, When planning a party you might want to make enough shooters to equal one cocktail per person. For that, On average, 4 jello shots equal one shot of booze. If you want to make enough shooters to give each guest a small buzz but not have a roaring drunk party, keep the proportion to 4 to 6 shooters per guest.

BUT if you really want to go for it, three vodka cocktails equal about 10 or 12 Gelatin cocktails and get the same buzz.

Can you get drunk off jello shots? Oh yes you can. Keep in mind that jello shots can be potent since the alcohol is mixed into the jello mixture after it is cooled.

Too many jello shots can get you drunk, hungover sick and arrested. Be sure to serve these jello shots responsibly and encourage your guests to do the same.

It is also a good idea to have non-alcoholic options available for those who do not wish to drink alcohol.

Which Champagne for Champagne Jello Cocktails?

Champagne jello shooters are a fun and creative way to serve champagne at a party or event. However, it’s important to remember that the quality of the champagne you use can greatly affect the flavor of the jello shots.

This is especially true for recipes like this one. We created a jello shots champagne platform to show off the champagne flavors. Other than some subtle lemon lime there are few other flavors to interfere with that lovely champagne.

For the best champagne jello shots, we recommend you use a high-quality champagne or sparkling wine in your jello shots. Avoid using cheap or lower-quality sparkling wines, as these can have off-putting flavors and may not gel properly when mixed with the jello.

Some good options for champagne to use in jello shots include:

• Champagne(read about champagne differences here): Classic champagne is a great choice for jello shots, as it has a balanced flavor and a pleasant effervescence.
• Prosecco:(read about the difference between champagne and Prosecco here) is a sparkling wine from Italy that is often less expensive than champagne and has a fruity, floral flavor.
• Cava: Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain that is made using the traditional method, similar to champagne. It has a dry, crisp flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the jello.

It’s also worth noting that jello shots are typically made with a mixture of champagne and a sweetened fruit juice, such as orange or raspberry juice. This helps to balance out the dryness of the champagne and add some additional flavor to the jello shots.

We chose our lemon lime soda to add flavor that won’t overpower the champagne yet it will add sweetness. It’s a wonderful combination.

Overall, the best champagne for jello shots is one that you enjoy drinking and that has a flavor profile that complements the jello and fruit juice, or in our case, soda.
