Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over 2 cups of cold water and allow it to absorb the water for 2 minutes. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat.

Pour the gelatin mixture into a large bowl, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Set bowl aside.

In the same small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Add 2 oz of flavored gelatin mix. Whisk until dissolved. Add to bowl and mix thoroughly.

Chill mixture for 15 minutes.

Add sparkling wine and soda. Return to fridge and chill until gelatin starts to form together. If you want, pour a bit in to a clear glass to see if air bubbles form. This is important because it gives the appearance of a stream of bubbles. If it’s not quite there, keep chilling, just be careful not to let it set all the way.

Once it’s ready to pour, fill up shot glasses or champagne flutes. Chill until set or overnight.

JELLO FOAM: If you want to do the Jello foam, reserve about 3/4 cup of mixture and allow to set. Before serving put Jello in a food processor until it turns frothy. If you like, add more sparkling wine or peach soda to it to thin it out a bit. Top each glass with foam and serve.
