Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine and unflavored gelatin. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
Heat the wine and gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the orange juice, brandy or rum (if using), and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the mixture into shot glasses or a mini muffin tin. Add a slice of orange, lime, or strawberry to each shot glass if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve chilled. Enjoy your Sangria Jello Shots!
Notes
These jello shots are best made a day in advance to ensure they are fully set. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the wine and brandy/rum and use more orange juice or a different fruit juice.
