My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

What Champagne To Use For Jello Shots

While I am a huge fan of Veuve, this recipe is best with a champagne
(or more likely Prosecco, since it is less expensive) you love the taste of – but is inexpensive.

If you really want to use expensive champagne, go for it – but you can also make this recipe with some great picks under $15.

Make these Jell-O shots extra festive by adding fun (and easy!) decorations to sprinkle over the top, with a bit of whipped cream!
