    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.

    Sweet and fruity, these fun Jello Wine Shots are fun at any gathering!

    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.

    Why This Recipe Works

    I love wine cocktails and boozy cupcakes so this recipe is perfect. And I know you’ll love it too.

    This wine jello shots recipe is super simple, just like making regular jello. Only this one gets an adult-friendly boost from a little white wine.

    The grapefruit soda gives it a hint of citrus and makes it sweet and so tasty!

    Think of these as an elevated jello shot. These are not the bright color shots from your college days. With or without the edible gold leaf these are perfect for your next girl’s night or holiday party.

    These would be perfect for New Year’s Eve! Pair them with some Spiced Pear Bellinis and ring in the new year.

    Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients to make wine jello shots.
    • Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
    • Grapefruit Soda
    • Frozen Limeade, thawed
    • Unflavored Gelatin

    You could also use the lower calorie and alcohol wine from Kim Crawford called Illuminate. And

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    A sauce pan holding a gelatin mixture to make wine jello shots.

    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.

    A spatula stirring a liquid mixture in a saucepan.

    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.

    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.

    Here’s where I went wrong. I wanted perfect squares and didn’t trust my cutting ability. So I used a silicone mold. But they 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.
    • 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

    How do you store jello shots?

    Store the jello shots with sauvignon blanc in the fridge (in a covered container) for up to 3 days.

    How much alcohol do you use in jello shots?

    You can use between 1/2 and 2/3 cup of liquor or wine in a jello shot without changing the consistency. I would stick closer to 1/2 cup for liquor but for wine I would use 2/3 cup.

    Will jello wine shots make you drunk?

    With only 2/3 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.

    Do these have to set up overnight?

    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…
