3 Easy ‘Boozy’ Popsicles

Making your own popsicles at home is always a great idea, and it can be especially fun to make frozen cocktails or spiked versions using a popsicle mold. These are just my three favourites that I think you’ll enjoy, but feel free to experiment on your own.

Alcohol Ratio When Freezing

There’s nothing wrong with a boozy popsicle if you’re looking to cool off on a hot summer day. But what you don’t want is a popsicle that turns into an alcoholic slushie. Here’s the secret: 1 part alcohol to 5 parts non-alcohol is the perfect ratio to ensure your cocktail stays perfectly shaped and holds its flavour while frozen.
