Tequila Sunrise Pops (Printable Version)
Bold, chill popsicles packed with tequila and tangy citrus. Super fun and great for hot days.
# What You'll Need:
→ Juice Blend
01 -
30 ml fresh lime juice
02 -
80 ml pineapple juice
03 -
180 ml orange juice
→ Alcohol
04 -
120 ml silver tequila
→ Garnish and Additions
05 -
9 lime slices, to decorate
06 -
24 ml grenadine (about 4½ teaspoons), for layering
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
First, grab a big pitcher and stir together the silver tequila, orange juice, lime juice, and pineapple juice until everything looks smooth.
02 -
Next, fill up 9 small paper cups or moulds with your liquid blend, leaving about a finger’s width from the top.
03 -
Slowly drip about ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) grenadine right in the middle of each cup. If you do it slowly, you'll get that cool sunrise look with the grenadine settling down.
04 -
Pop those cups in your freezer for at least an hour.
05 -
While they start freezing, slice up 9 thin lime wheels. Check if they fit your cups—use an extra cup for size if you want.
06 -
When the hour's up, take your cups out. Cut a slit (1–2 cm or so) in the middle of each lime slice, push a popsicle stick through, then sit the lime at the top of each semi-frozen pop so the stick goes almost all the way in but doesn't hit the bottom.
07 -
Stick everything back in the freezer for 5 more hours—don't take them out until they're really solid.
08 -
When they're frozen through, pull off the cups or moulds and grab your treat by the stick. Time to enjoy!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Pour your grenadine gently if you want layers that look great. If you've got time, let these freeze overnight for super easy unmoulding.
