🍹 Tequila Sunrise Boozy Popsicles


Makes: 6–8 popsicles (depending on mold size)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 6–8 hours or overnight
Level: Easy


πŸ₯„ Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup orange juice
    (Fresh or bottled, preferably pulp-free for a smoother texture.)

  • β…“ cup pineapple juice
    (Adds a tropical twist and natural sweetness.)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    (Brightens the flavor and adds citrusy zing.)

  • ½ cup silver tequila
    (Use a good-quality blanco tequila for the best flavor.)

  • 2–4 tablespoons grenadine
    (For that beautiful red “sunrise” effect—add to molds last.)

  • Lime slices or wedges (optional)
    (For garnish inside the popsicles or as a side when serving.)


πŸŒ€ Instructions:

1. Mix the Boozy Base

In a large measuring cup or mixing bowl with a spout, combine:

  • Orange juice

  • Pineapple juice

  • Lime juice

  • Silver tequila
    Stir well to combine all liquids.

2. Prepare the Popsicle Molds

  • If you want to add lime slices for decoration, place a small thin wedge or half-slice into each mold first.

  • Slowly fill each popsicle mold about ¾ full with the juice-tequila mixture.

3. Add the Sunrise Effect

  • Carefully pour or drizzle grenadine (about ½–1 tsp) into each mold. It will sink to the bottom, creating that classic “sunrise” layered look.
    Tip: Don’t stir after adding grenadine—just let it settle naturally.

4. Insert Sticks and Freeze

  • Add popsicle sticks and place molds in the freezer for at least 6–8 hours or overnight until fully frozen.

5. Unmold and Serve

  • To release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!


🌟 Tips & Variations:

  • Make it sweeter: Add a tablespoon of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter pop.

  • Make it mocktail-style: Omit tequila and replace with more orange juice or lemon-lime soda for a kid-friendly version.

  • Add fruit chunks: Frozen pineapple chunks or maraschino cherries add color and texture.


πŸ”₯ Perfect For:

  • Summer BBQs

  • Pool parties

  • Bachelorette weekends

  • Brunch with a twist
