Sangria Jello Shots
Sangria Jello Shots recipe turn a classic wine punch into a fun party shot! These cocktails are great for all your get-togethers and are made ahead of time for easy entertaining!
Fruity Jello Shots
Sangria Jello Shots use methods from my How To Make Jello Shots Guide to make delicious and easy wine jello shots!
I love being able to make a big batch (usually ahead of time) and letting everyone serve themselves. I don’t have to play bartender all day and everyone gets a perfectly mixed drink.
As much as I love pitcher drinks, unique jello shots are my other go-to premade cocktail for parties. There’s something totally fun and delicious about a little cup that takes you back to your childhood but is loaded with booze. Adults only. Sorry kiddos.
Rebecca’s Recipe Review
Taste: Fruity and sweet.
Texture: Smooth Jello with some texture from the fruit pieces. If you don’t want texture in your shot you can omit the fruit.
Ease: 5/10
Pros: This recipe makes a dozen and a half shots, perfect for those summer parties!
Cons: Assembling everything into little plastic cups can be tedious but it’s worth it for these fun dessert-like shots!
Would I Make This Again? Yes!
Ingredients For Sangria Jello Shots
Unflavored Gelatin
Red Wine
Cherry Juice
Cranberry Juice
Granny Smith Apple
Mandarin Orange Slices
Fresh Raspberries
You’ll also need plastic cups with lids! For easy transportation, packaging, and consumption, I find these containers to work the best! I love that they come with lids and in a package of 100 so I can use them for several batches of jello shots throughout the holiday season.
How To Make Sangria Jello Shots
1. Add gelatin to a spouted mixing bowl and then pour red wine over it. Then allow it to sit until the gelatin is absorbed into the wine.
2. Heat whine on the stovetop until it begins to simmer. Then whisk the hot wine into the gelatine mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
3. Whisk the remaining wine and both juices into the shot mixture and set it aside.
4. Lay the plastic cups out onto a baking tray without the lids. Next, evenly distribute the dice apples, oranges, and raspberries into each cup.
5. Pour the wine mixture into each cup, filling just under the lip to leave room for the lids.
6. Chill the shots in the fridge until they’re set and firm.
7. Remove the Jello shots from the fridge and place a raspberry half on each shot. Serve immediately or cover the cups with lids and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve and enjoy.
Rebecca’s Tips
Any red blend, cabernet, or zinfandel you like should work just fine with the cherry and cranberry juice. I love wines that have fruit and spice notes, it really adds a lot to the shots.
If you’re not a big fan of red wine, I would recommend making my Champagne Jello Shots instead!
Apples and oranges are a sangria staple and raspberries go great with the juices and red wine profile. And they’re pretty too! But if you’re not feeling the fruit in the shots, they can be omitted and you’ll still have a delish wine jello shot!
Normally sangria needs to hang out and merry together for a few hours before serving, but since the jello shots need time to set up anyway everything worked out perfectly.

Sangria Jello Shots
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (2 packets)
- 2 cups red wine (red blend, cabernet, zinfandel) divided
- 1/2 cup cherry juice
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 granny smith apple cored and finely diced
- 18 mandarin oranges slices chopped into thirds
- 18 fresh raspberries halved
- 18 2-ounce plastic cups with lids
Instructions
- Add gelatin to a spouted mixing bowl or 4-cup liquid measuring cup. Pour 1/4 cup of red wine over the gelatin and allow to sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin is absorbed into the wine.
- Heat 1 cup wine over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Whisk the hot wine into the gelatin mixture until the gelatin is dissolved.
- Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup of wine and both juices until combined. Set aside.
- Lay out your plastic cups on a baking tray without the lids (for easy transportation). Distribute the diced apples evenly among the cups. Add 3 pieces of orange and 1/2 or a raspberry to each cup.
- Pour the wine mixture into each cup filling just under the lip so there's room to put the lid on later.
- Refrigerate the shots for 2-3 hours or until set.
- Remove shots from the fridge. Place a raspberry half on top of each shot, cut side down. Serve immediately or cover each cup with a lid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you’re not feeling the fruit in the shots, they can be omitted and you’ll still have a delish wine jello shot!

Could this recipe be made in a full size cup!?!
I’m sure it could be.
This looks sooooo great! Could I add brandy to this or would that change the recipe?
Hi Jesi, you can use whatever liquid you want but the ratios need to remain the same so you’d have to reduce something else.
