Boozy Paloma Popsicles with Tequila, Grapefruit, & Lime
Tart & sweet Paloma Popsicles are a chillingly refreshing twist on the classic tequila cocktail.
Servings 10 popsicles
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup grapefruit juice
- ¾ cup orange juice
- 3 ounces lime juice
- 2 ounces Silver Tequila
- 1 ounce Mescal Tequila (or a third ounce of Silver Tequila)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2-3 ounces grenadine
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, combine all of the ingredients except the grenadine, whisking to combine. Pour the Paloma mixture into your popsicle mods, leaving about a fourth inch of space in each.
- Freeze the popsicles until just slushy enough to hold up a popsicle stick (about 45 minutes to an hour). Top off each popsicle with a bit of grenadine. Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds. If you like, you can swirl the grenadine around a bit with the stick before settling it into the pop to give it a bit of an “ombre” coloring. Freeze the pops overnight until solid.
- To remove the popsicles, submerge the mold in a bowl of lukewarm water for about 30 seconds (not too much longer of the pops will melt too much). Gently wiggle the pops out of the molds and serve immediately. I like to put them in glasses - this way you can just sip up any bits that melt!
