🍓 Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Popsicles – Boozy Bliss on a Stick! 🍋❄️
If you’re looking for the ultimate adult treat to cool off on a hot day, these Strawberry Lemonade Vodka Popsicles are the way to go! Bursting with fresh fruit, tart lemonade, and a nice kick of vodka, they’re the perfect frozen refreshment for poolside parties, BBQs, or just when you want to sip on something deliciously boozy while chilling out.
Ingredients:
1½ cups lemonade (freshly squeezed for the best flavor!)
2 oz strawberry lemonade vodka (or regular vodka for a stronger kick)
6–8 fresh strawberries (for a burst of fruity goodness)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Strawberry Mixture:
Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the green tops. Slice them into small pieces.
Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and pulse until they’re blended into a smooth puree. You can also leave some chunks if you prefer a bit of texture.
2. Mix the Cocktail Base:
In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the 1½ cups lemonade with the 2 oz strawberry lemonade vodka (or regular vodka if you want more of a traditional vodka taste).
Stir well to combine.
3. Add the Strawberry Puree:
Gently fold the strawberry puree into the lemonade and vodka mixture. This will give your popsicles that vibrant pink color and fresh strawberry flavor.
Stir everything together until it’s evenly mixed.
4. Pour into Popsicle Molds:
Pour the strawberry lemonade vodka mixture into your popsicle molds, filling each mold almost to the top (leaving a little room for the pops to expand as they freeze).
If you want to get extra creative, you can drop a few small strawberry chunks into each mold for extra texture and bursts of fruit in every bite.
5. Insert Sticks & Freeze:
Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds. Make sure they’re centered in the mixture.
Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid.
6. Unmold & Serve:
To release the popsicles from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds.
Gently pull the popsicles out, and they should come out easily.
Serve these chilled and enjoy the refreshing boozy strawberry lemonade goodness!
