    These citrus-infused, tequila-based boozy Margarita Popsicles are a yummy adult treat on hot summer days!

    Cocktails are awesome. But if you're looking for a fun, creative way to serve drinks this summer, consider making cocktails in popsicle form!

    These margarita popsicles are SO refreshing. I love the citrus lime and the tropical flavors of mango and passionfruit. So very summery, right?

    🌟 What makes these popsicles a great summery treat

    close up of a margarita popsicle over a bed of ice with jalapeno slices.

    Summer is the perfect time for backyard barbecues and get togethers with family and friends. And when the weather heats up, these refreshing cocktails are a great, easy way to break the ice.

    • Prepare beforehand: Make them the night before you have people over and allow them to freeze overnight.
    • Pretty presentation: Once you are ready to serve them, make a splash by carefully removing them from the popsicle molds and setting them onto a tray filled with ice.
    • Easy clean up: The only dishes you need to clean are the popsicle sticks!

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Honey - For a bit of sweetness. You can also use agave instead of honey.

    Lime slices and juice - Fresh lime juice adds the best flavor, but you can also use shelf-stable storebought lime juice instead.

    Tequila reposado (not pictured) - Reposado is "rested" tequila. Meaning, it's been aged. I like reposados for recipes like this because aging mellows the tequila and adds beautiful, elegant flavors like oak and vanilla.

    Tropical juice (not pictured) - I use a tropical mango passionfruit juice, but you could use mango juice, guava juice, pineapple juice, or a classic POG juice (Passionfruit Orange Guava)!

    Jalapeño slices - I add slices of jalapeño to the popsicles for a bit of a kick.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    Making these adult boozy popsicles could not be easier.

    1. Simply combine all of the ingredients.

    2. Then pour into popsicle molds, freeze for a few hours, and enjoy once they are fully frozen!

    ❓ Recipe FAQs

    yellow margarita popsicle over a bed of ice with popsicle stick partway out.
    How long does it take for popsicles to freeze?

    These tequila popsicles usually freeze in about 5 hours. However, if you can leave them in the freezer overnight, all the better.

    What's the best way to remove the popsicles from the molds?

    There are two methods that have worked best for me:

    1. Allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature until popsicles more easily slide out of the mold.
    2. Or, gently run the molds under warm water for about 20 seconds each to make it easier to remove from the popsicles.

    🧊 Kitchen tools and equipment

    Popsicle molds - For this recipe, I used these yellow popsicle molds which come in a set of eight and have a decorative ridged pattern.

    Ingredients

    • 1 - ½ cups tropical mango passionfruit juice
    • ¾ cup reposado tequila
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 3 tablespoons lime juice
    • optional: sliced jalapeno

    Instructions

    • Mix all ingredients together, then pour into six popsicle molds.
      Optional: to add a bit of spicy heat to the popsicles, place 2-3 jalapeno slices, seeds removed, into each mold before freezing.
    • Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
    • When completely frozen, carefully remove from the mold. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Juice options: you can use any tropical juice you like. I use mango passionfruit, but you could use any combination of mango, pineapple, passionfruit, guava.
    Keep uneaten popsicles in the molds in the freezer for up to three weeks.
    Tips for removing frozen popsicles from molds: either allow to thaw slightly at room temperature until popsicles more easily slide out of the mold, or gently run molds under warm water for about 20 seconds each to make it easier to remove from the molds.
