Frozen desserts make for a tasty and refreshing way to cool off this summer. Step up your popsicle game by adding a splash of your favorite alcoholic beverage and your guests will be quick to request a second. Here are our favorite boozy popsicle recipes that are light and delicious. 

G&T Pops

For a decadent dessert, make these key-lime flavored gin and tonic popsicles. This simple recipe uses small paper cups as popsicle molds so clean up is a breeze. Combine one can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup limeade, 1 cup tonic water, ½ cup gin, and the juice from one lime. Whisk until the concoction is mixed and pour into 12 cups. Insert popsicle sticks into the middle of each and freeze. 

Prosecco Pops

Perfect for bridal showers, bachelorettes, and birthdays, these Prosecco Pops are just asking for a celebration. This simple recipe only involves a few ingredients. Select three of your favorite fruits, like blackberries, strawberries, or mangos, and cup up ½ of each fruit. Fill popsicle molds with the cut fruit, then pour your choice of Prosecco to ¾ of the mold. Top off with lemonade or orange juice and put in the freezer to set.  

Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Pops

Both refreshing and rich, these popsicles are a perfect dessert for summertime barbeques or picnics in the park. Make the strawberry popsicles first by combining 16 oz of strawberries, ½ cup simple syrup, 1 cup Pinot Noir, and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar in a blender. Purée until smooth and pour into popsicle molds. Once these are frozen, it’s time to melt the chocolate. Combine 6 oz good quality dark chocolate and ½ teaspoon coconut oil in a microwavable safe bowl and heat for 20 second intervals, stirring between each. Once smooth, dip your popsicles into the chocolate and put back into the freezer to set.

Tequila Watermelon Popsicles

These pops are almost as beautiful as they are delicious. Combine 4 cups watermelon juice, ½ cup tequila, ¼ cup simple syrup, and the juice and zest of one lime. Pour into six molds and freeze. These popsicles are tangy, sweet, and perfect for a refreshing treat. 

Mango Mojito Pops

Nothing says summer quite like ripe, juicy mangoes and a bright, sparkling mint mojito. Blend 2 cups chopped mango, 2 oz rum, juice from a lime, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons mint until puréed finely. Pour into molds and place in freezer to set. Your guests will love these sweet and fragrant desserts. 

For a new take on traditional popsicles, whip up any of these boozy adult frozen desserts and wow your friends. These will help guests stay cool even during the hottest summer days. Whip up a batch this weekend, freeze, and enjoy!
