Boozy Watermelon-Lime-Mint Popsicles Recipe
Boozy, fruity pops for hot summer days
What's better than a frozen fruit pop? A cocktail on a stick, of course. Ice pops made from watermelon juice and purée, fresh mint, a shot of tequila, lime juice and a touch of agave syrup are the perfect way to cool off on hot, sticky days. You can create your own icy libation by using the measurements above as a guide. Mix it up, bite in and chill out.

to 10 pops
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- ½ seedless baby watermelon, rind removed and fruit cut into ½-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons tequila blanco
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Kosher salt
- Lime wedges
Directions
- Purée the cubed watermelon in a food processor or blender until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. Strain through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Transfer the remaining watermelon purée to a large liquid measuring cup and pick out any seeds.
- To a small bowl, add 1 cup of the strained watermelon juice (save the rest for another use) and the mint. Set aside for 10 minutes to steep, then strain through a sieve into the watermelon purée. Discard the strained mint.
- Stir in the tequila blanco, agave syrup and lime juice. Divide the mixture among the 10 holes of a 10-pop mold and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. Briefly run the bottom of the mold under warm water before pulling each pop out. Sprinkle each pop with salt and serve with a lime wedge.
