Substitutions and Additions
- Replace The Raspberry: If you can’t find the raspberry jello, any red colored jello will work. You can use strawberry, cherry, cranberry, or any other you prefer.
- Which Wine: Most red wines will work in these jello shots. I think a medium or full-bodied wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Rioja, or Pinot, will taste delicious.

How to Make Sangria Jello Shots
Sangria Jello Shots are a simple way to turn a traditional wine-based beverage into fun party food. It takes only 5 minutes to prepare these berry-flavored bites; it’s the perfect recipe to prepare in advance and makes entertaining so easy.
- Make Your Mixture: Dissolve the jello with boiling water. Stir in the wine and brandy.
- Fill: Fill each shot glass about ¾ of the way full.
- Chill: Chill for about 3 hours or until set up.
- Serve: Garnish with fruit and whipped cream (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
Tips From Our Recipe Developer
- I like to line up my shot glasses on a flat, firm, moveable surface like a tray or cookie sheet. This makes it easier to move them back and forth from the fridge.
- Do not add the garnishes to your shots until you’re ready to serve them. They can be garnished for a couple of hours before serving, but do not leave them overnight or the garnishes will become gross, effectively ruining the entire shot.
- If you can’t find raspberry jello, you can always swap it out for another red jello, just so the color gets close enough.
Storage Tips
- To Store: You can store your jello shots covered in the fridge for up to a week.
- To Freeze: Do not freeze these jello shots!
