Description
A refreshing summer treat that combines the classic flavors of a tequila sunrise in a fun and boozy popsicle form.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ cup silver tequila
- Grenadine for garnishing (about 4-½ teaspoons)
- Lime slices for garnishing
Instructions
- Add orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and tequila in a large pitcher. Mix until fully blended.
- Pour mixture into the bottom of dixie cups, leaving about ½ inch from the top.
- Pour ½ teaspoon of grenadine into the mixture. Be sure to pour into the center, somewhat slowly. It will sink to the bottom.
- Place cups inside the freezer to freeze for about 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, cut 9 lime slices just small enough to fit inside the dixie cups.
- Using a shark knife, cut a slit in the center of each lime, about ½ – 1 inch long.
- Remove the drinks from the freezer. Insert a popsicle stick through the lime and insert it inside the drink. The tip of the popsicle stick should be about near the bottom but not fully touching.
- Place the drinks back inside the freezer and chill for another 5 hours or overnight.
- When done, rip the dixie cup paper from around the edges, or pull the popsicle out by pulling up on the popsicle stick. Enjoy!
Notes
- To Store: Keep the popsicles inside the dixie cups and place them in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
- Place cups on a baking sheet for transportation purposes.
- Freeze the drinks slightly before adding the lime so that the surface is somewhat frosty.
- Be sure not to swish the popsicle stick inside the drink too much when adding the lime slice.
- These popsicles will melt quicker than usual when left at room temperature or higher due to the alcohol.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.
- Keep the popsicles inside the dixie cup when they are on ice.
