Watermelon Margarita Ice Pops
These vibrant ice pops are not just visually appealing; they burst with flavor and are incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delightful pops in no time!
Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup tequila (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by placing the watermelon cubes into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a little texture, you can pulse it until thick but not completely smooth.
- Strain the blended watermelon through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any pulp. This will give you a smooth watermelon juice.
- To the watermelon juice, add the freshly squeezed lime juice, tequila (if using), honey or agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness, adding more honey or agave if desired.
- Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. If you don’t have ice pop molds, small paper cups with wooden sticks work perfectly as well.
- Insert the sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until fully solid.
- To release the ice pops, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds until they loosen easily.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Watermelon Margarita Ice Pops on a hot day!
