Servings: 9 drinks
Calories: 46kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ cup silver tequila
- Grenadine for garnishing you will use about 4-½ teaspoons
- Lime slices for garnishing
Instructions
- Add orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, and tequila in a large pitcher. Mix until fully blended.
- Pour mixture into the bottom of dixie cups, leaving about ½ inch from the top.
- Pour ½ teaspoon of grenadine into the mixture. Be sure to pour into the center, somewhat slowly. It will sink to the bottom.
- Place cups inside the freezer to freeze for about 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, cut 9 lime slices just small enough to fit inside the dixie cups. You may need several limes for this. Use an extra dixie cup to measure.
- Using a shark knife, cut a slit in the center of each lime, about ½ - 1 inch long.
- Remove the drinks from the freezer. Insert a popsicle stick through the lime and insert it inside the drink. The tip of the popsicle stick should be about near the bottom but not fully touching. The lime should rest just on the surface of the mixture, touching but not submerged. Adjust the lime accordingly. Repeat for each drink.
- Place the drinks back inside the freezer and chill for another 5 hours or overnight.
- When done, rip the dixie cup paper from around the edges, or pull the popsicle out by pulling up on the popsicle stick. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Keep the popsicles inside the dixie cups and place them in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
- Place cups on a baking sheet for transportation purposes. This is much easier than transporting one or two at a time to the freezer.
- Freeze the drinks slightly before adding the lime so that the surface is somewhat frosty. Without this, the limes tend to collect more frost over the surface of the lime while freezing.
- Be sure not to swish the popsicle stick inside the drink too much when adding the lime slice. This helps prevent the grenadine from mixing too much.
- These popsicles will melt quicker than usual when left at room temperature or higher due to the alcohol. Be sure to keep popsicles over ice when enjoying.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a crowd.
- Keep the popsicles inside the dixie cup when they are on ice. This will help contain any juices.
