Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup water cold
  • 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin 1 ounce total
  • 0.5 cup water boiling
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups champagne chilled
  • 1 cup vodka chilled

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet
  • 24 2-ounce plastic shot cups

Method
 

  1. Arrange 24 (2-ounce) plastic shot cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Pour the cold water into a medium bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it; let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  3. Pour in the boiling water and stir until the gelatin dissolves, then stir in the sugar until dissolved.
  4. Let the gelatin mixture cool for 5 minutes, then gently stir in the chilled champagne and vodka.
  5. Pour the mixture into the shot cups, filling each about two-thirds full, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.

Notes

For clean pours, use chilled champagne and vodka and fill the cups evenly. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For an alcohol-free option, replace the champagne and vodka with sparkling white grape juice.
