Firecracker Watermelon Tequila Pops
Firecracker Watermelon Tequila Pops are spicy, tangy, and sweet frozen treats made with fresh watermelon, tequila, lime juice, and a kick of chili and sea salt. Perfect for summer entertaining or a solo patio party.
- 1 medium watermelon
- 1 cup tequila
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup simple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Prepare the Watermelon: Cut a medium watermelon in half, scoop out the flesh, remove seeds, and break it into smaller pieces.
Blend: Puree the watermelon in a blender or food processor until smooth (or keep it a bit chunky if you prefer texture).
Mix: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup tequila, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup simple syrup, 1/4 tsp chili powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Stir well.
Combine: Add the watermelon puree to the tequila mixture and stir until fully blended.
Fill Molds: Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving some space at the top for expansion.
Freeze: Insert sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
Serve: Run warm water over the outside of the molds briefly, then gently pull out the pops and enjoy!
