New Year is just 3 days away !  My daughter said I have to make something festive to celebrate. Last week, I came across a champagne and vodka jello recipe on Pinterest. Well…. I don’t drink and I can’t make something alcoholic for my kids, so I used Sprite instead and added some frozen berries to make it more colourful.  You can use any kind of clear carbonated drink you like.  Have a Happy New Year !

Makes about 12-16 mini jello cups, about 50 mL each

• 2 envelopes or tablespoons unflavoured gelatin powder
• 2 cups carbonated drink of choice (cold)
• 200 mL water
• 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar if needed to adjust sweetness
• Frozen berries, mangoes, or other fruits for decoration

1. Sprinkle 2 envelopes of gelatin over 100 mL of water, let sit for a few minutes
2. Add sugar to remaining water and heat until just boiled
3. Pour hot water into gelatin mixture, stir until all dissolved
4. Add carbonated drink, stir to mix, then pour into jello cups or bowls
5. Add a few small pieces of frozen fruits to decorate
6. Wrap and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours or overnight
