Tequila Sunrise Popsicles

Yes, you read that right. Tequila in an ice block! It is a grown up version of a childhood treat that may have you acting like a drooling toddler! Figure that one out!

 

 

 

This recipe uses my Homemade Grenadine and any fruit cocktail you can think of.  Traditionally made with Tequila, OJ and Grenadine, I added some Pineapple chunks to my mixture for a sweet Icy treat.

 

 

Ingredients 

300gm Frozen fruit chunks (pineapple, melon, mango or anything you fancy)

Juice of 1 Lemon

300gm Orange Juice

60gm Tequila - use a good quality brand (worm is not essential!)

Lemonade to top up

Grenadine for the all important sunrise!

 

Method

Add the frozen fruit, lemon juice, OJ and Tequila to Your TM bowl.

Blitz 20 seconds, speed 9.

Pour into Ice block molds 3/4 full.

Top with Lemonade and carefully pour Grenadine into the top of the mold (it will fall to the bottom because the lemonade is less dense - Closet chemistry nerd here!)

Cover and freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight until set.

 

Once frozen, remove from molds and dig in.  On a hot day they may just melt all over you.

 

Disclaimer: If, like me, you have a small child who thinks he would like an ice block too, be sure to clearly label the non-alcoholic variety.  Apparently Tequila does not agree with children! Funny, it makes me feel like a kid again!
