Citrusy and fun, these boozy Wine Jello Shots are the perfect party food! If you’re a white wine lover, this recipe is for you.
With only 4 ingredients, this easy wine shots dessert can be made ahead for all your adult parties and the holidays.
I’m not really a jello-shot kind of gal. But I love sauvignon blanc. To be clear, this is not my recipe but I wanted to make it so that you all know about it! I also wanted to add step-by-step instructions to make it easier for you to make them at home.
I’m a big fan of Kim Crawford and I found the Sauvignon Blanc Jello Shots recipe on their site when I was looking for something fun to make a friend for her birthday when we were all stuck at home.
This is not a sponsored post. Sadly, I spend lots of my own money on Kim Crawford.

How to Make Jello Shots with Wine
1. Mix gelatin with limeade and grapefruit soda
In a medium saucepan add the grapefruit soda and 2 tablespoons of thawed frozen limeade. Sprinkle with two packets of unflavored gelatin.
Let the gelatin soak for 2 minutes. It will look like mush.
2. Dissolve gelatin
Heat over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. The mixture may foam up a bit but it will go down.
3. Add wine
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sauvignon blanc.
And now that the bottle is open and you have leftovers you should make a Strawberry Sauvignon Blanc Martini.
4. Pour into mold
Here’s where I went wrong. I wanted perfect squares and didn’t trust my cutting ability. So I used a silicone mold. But the Jello shooters did not come out easily at all.
I would suggest pouring the jello mixture into a shallow dish or another shallow mold. Whatever you decide to use, pour the gelatin mixture in and place in the fridge to set up overnight.
Variations
While I love sauvignon blanc, you can use another type of white wine if you prefer. Rosé would be tasty. As would pinto grigio.
I’m not a fan of Chardonnay so I would skip that. A Riesling would also be super tasty and will be on the sweeter side.
Top tips
- Change up the flavored soda you use to create a totally unique flavor. Anything citrus or tropical tasting would pair nicely with the sauvignon blanc.
- You can make these in the more traditional jello shot way (in little cups) if you prefer.
- A shallow mold will make getting them out easier than something taller like I used.
- Or you can just make wine Jello and scoop it into a serving dish.
- These will get runny if you serve them in a really hot environment. These jello wine shots are best kept cold and I do not recommend you leave them out on a table.
- I added the edible gold leaf once these were out of the mold and ready for serving. But you can serve them plain too! They’ll still be delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions
Store the jello shots with sauvignon blanc in the fridge (in a covered container) for up to 3 days.
You can use between ½ and ⅔ cup of liquor or wine in a jello shot without changing the consistency. I would stick closer to ½ cup for liquor but for wine I would use ⅔ cup.
With only ⅔ cup of sauvignon blanc in the full jello shot recipe, it is highly unlikely that you would get drunk on these. But they do have alcohol so they should not be given to children.
No. While I prefer to make these sauvignon blanc jello shots ahead of time you can make them the day of your even as long as you have 4 hours for them to set up in the fridge. The more shallow you pour the mixture the quicker they will set up.
These Wine Jello Shots with Sauvignon Blanc are sure to put a smile every one’s face at your next party! And you probably won’t end up with a lampshade on your head. At least not from these…
