Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruit Ingredients:
- 2 pints raspberries
- 2 large apples
- 30 ounces mandarin oranges in syrup
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice
- 2 1/4 cups sweet red sparkling wine
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Binding Ingredient:
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Instructions
- Warm the juice in a saucepan until steaming, avoiding boiling point.
- Sprinkle gelatin over hot liquid and allow to bloom for 5 minutes, then whisk thoroughly until completely dissolved.
- Incorporate triple sec, mandarin syrup, and wine into the gelatin mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Remove any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon or small strainer.
- Prepare shot glasses by coating the bottom with fresh fruit pieces, tossing apple chunks in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Carefully pour the liquid gelatin mixture over the fruit in each shot glass, filling to about three-quarters full.
- Transfer shot glasses to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until gelatin is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, let shots sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to slightly soften and ease removal from glasses.
Notes
- Prevent fruit browning by tossing apple pieces in lemon juice before adding to shots, keeping them fresh and vibrant.
- Choose ripe, sweet fruits like mandarin oranges and apples for maximum flavor infusion and visual appeal in the jello shots.
- Experiment with different wine varieties like sangria-style red or white to create unique taste profiles and match personal preferences.
- Skim foam carefully to ensure a smooth, clear jello shot texture without cloudiness or unwanted bubbles.
