• 1/2 cup vodka
• 2 cups chilled sparkling wine, divided
• 2 packets (1/3 oz. each) raspberry, cherry, or watermelon Pop Rocks(R)

2. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over pomegranate-gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in vodka.
3. Pour pomegranate-gelatin mixture into pan. Chill until set, about 3 hours.
4. Pour 1/2 cup sparkling wine into a 1-qt. liquid measuring cup or medium heatproof bowl and sprinkle with remaining 2 packets gelatin. Let sit until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over sparkling wine-gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
6. Pour sparkling wine-gelatin mixture over pomegranate-gelatin mixture, then pour in remaining wine. Chill until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
