Servings:
8 Popsicles
Ingredients
  • ½ cup tequila blanco
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 6 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons agave
  • 3 limes
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
Directions
  1. In a pitcher or large measuring cup, combine the tequila, triple sec, orange juice, lime juice, and agave, and mix well. Taste and add more agave for sweetening if desired.
  2. Divide the mixture between 8 small 3-ounce paper cups, leaving about half an inch of space from the top. Place the cups in a freezable vessel like a loaf pan.
  3. Cut a total of 8 rounds from the center of the 3 limes, each about ¼-inch thick. Slice a wedge from a leftover lime piece and set aside.
  4. Carefully pierce the center of the lime rounds with a knife tip to make a very small opening for the popsicle stick to fit through snugly.
  5. Push a popsicle stick through the center of a lime round and place it in one of the paper cups. Adjust the height of the lime so it's sitting flat on top of the liquid, and try to straighten the stick. Repeat with the remaining lime rounds.
  6. Freeze the cups for 8 hours or overnight.
  7. Once they're done freezing, squeeze the cups lightly and gently wiggle the sticks to unmold the popsicles.
  8. Combine the kosher salt and cayenne in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  9. Run the lime wedge around the edges of the frozen lime rounds to moisten.
  10. Dip the moistened sides of each popsicle in the salt mixture, rotating to coat.
  11. Serve immediately or keep frozen until ready to serve.
