Valentine’s Champagne which is a little different than the usual flavored Champagne Cocktails ! This drink has a Cherry Liqueur Jello Shot which slips down your throat with the last sip.
No need to worry about the Jello Shot messing around with your Champagne’s taste ! But that last sip gives you a smooth, tasty surprise.
I love the somewhat tart taste of Cherry and the combination of Cherry Jello and Cherry Liqueur is absolutely delicious.
You may not prefer, or like, Cherry all that much, therefore you can change the Jello Shot to Strawberry, or just about any other flavor.
However, I would stick to a fruity flavor, meaning not going for Chocolate or Coffee ! I really can not even imagine how that will taste with Champagne.
Depending on how many glasses you are serving, you will have quite a bit of Jello Shots left, unless you are serving to a huge crowd.
I pour the mixed, not set, Jello into a smooth, large tray with a lip (plastic or even steel), cut into blocks (enough for the drinks) when set.
Then cut the remaining Jello into larger blocks, which we enjoy from a shot glass later.
The Jello Shot size for the Valentine’s Champagne should be about 1.5 centimeters square ( 1/2 inch square ), but it is not a set size.
I just found this to be the perfect size for us to enjoy our Champagne in full as well as the surprise Jello shot last.
You can also only pour enough Jello mixture into a smaller tray and the remaining mixture into individual shot glasses or small serving bowls/cups.
In this last image you can see the Cherry Liqueur Jello Shot at the bottom of the glass, ready to be sipped !
