I love your ideas! They sound so fun! Have to try them but found this recipe…you could probably substitute watermelon for strawberries.

e for effort. i mean, who wouldn’t want a liquored up Popsicle. At the very least, some of it will freeze and you will have an adult slushy! Let’s think about Beale Street or Bourbon Street….there are tons of places that have alcoholic slushy machines lining their walls with all sorts of crazy flavors. On Beale, I once had one called “Call A Cab,” and…wait, what am I talking about. I forgot.

I think you have to add enough water so that it freezes. alcohol freezes, but at a MUCH lower temp than water. beer has enough water in it that it will freeze in a very cold freezer after a while… dry ice anyone?

This is awesome! I’m so excited about the thin mint pops! And I could do a berrie one…
@ Summer – I was going to suggest a margarita pop or a mojito pop, but I see your point.
OH you could try a sweat tea vodka pop?? Get some firefly and add some other stuff??

I look forward to hearing the results of your alco-pop experiments, but I’m afraid my hypothesis is that they will fail. Alcohol freezes at a much lower temperature than water, which is why you can store vodka bottles in the freezer without having the vodka solidify. So unless your pops are very low proof, they’re unlikely to freeze solid.

A few weeks ago, on the beach, I saw a guy pull a large tupperware container from his cooler, from which he scooped yellow slush into glasses. I asked him what it was. “Margaritas,” he replied, “would you like some? Do you have a cup?” Oh yeah! He’d put his container of margaritas in the freezer, and the tequila kept it from freezing solid, and the end result was slushy frozen cocktails on the beach. I think I do not need to specify that this is awesome.
