Whether you're mourning the loss of your team or the loss of your significant other during football season, with these jelly shots you can have your wine and eat it too!

More About This Recipe

  • These fruity jelly shots mix sweet pomegranate juice, fresh citrus, and of course, plenty of wine! Being a huge sports fan (and a sports anchor to boot), I love football season. It means lazy Sundays and cheering on your favorite teams with your favorite foods and cocktails. But I realize not all ladies are in my camp. For some, football season means you become a “widow” of sorts for 4 months out of the year (5 months if your team is really good). AKA: Bring on the wine. Now that the calendar has turned to January and you’re celebrating the end of the season or the beginning of playoffs, everyone can enjoy these wine-based jelly shots. Now you can have your wine and eat it too! You can serve them on cute mini plates. Or in wine/coupe glasses, sprinkled with lime and orange zest.
