Tequila Sunrise Pops (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Juice Blend
01 -
30 ml lime juice, fresh
02 -
80 ml pineapple juice
03 -
180 ml orange juice
→ Alcohol
04 -
120 ml silver tequila
→ Garnish and Additions
05 -
24 ml grenadine (roughly 4½ teaspoons), for color layering
06 -
9 lime wheels, to top off
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pour silver tequila, orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice into a big pitcher. Give it all a good stir so it’s mixed up well.
02 -
Grab 9 small paper cups or popsicle moulds. Fill each with your mixture, but stop about a half inch from the top.
03 -
Slowly add about ½ teaspoon (roughly 2.5 ml) grenadine to the middle of each cup. Pour slow so it settles at the bottom—this makes that sunny look.
04 -
Place your filled cups in the freezer and leave them there for 1 hour.
05 -
While those freeze, slice up 9 thin lime rounds. Make sure they’ll fit on top of your cups. You can use a spare cup to check the size if you want.
06 -
Once the hour’s up, slit each lime slice in the center (about 1–2 cm). Pull the cups out, stick a popsicle stick through each lime, and lay the lime slice right on top of each semi-frozen pop. The stick should reach toward the bottom but not touch it.
07 -
Slide the cups back into the freezer for at least 5 hours, or just leave them until they’re rock solid.
08 -
When they’re fully frozen, peel off the paper cup or tug the popsicle out by the stick. They’re ready to eat right away.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Pour the grenadine super slow so you get a clear sunrise look. Let the pops freeze overnight for even better results.
