Kiwi Watermelon Margarita Popsicles

July 4, 2020 by Natalie 4 Comments

It’s officially my first southern summer here in Nashville. Not the summer I imagined I would have, that’s for sure. It reached 91 today so I made these Kiwi Watermelon Margarita Popsicles. I’ve been buying a lot of fruit and freezing it to make smoothie bowls and frozen margaritas now that it’s warmer. Enjoying icy cold things while spending time in the sunshine on the deck is my favorite thing. I’ll tell you what, having an outdoor space AND having central AC for the first time in my life is quite the treat. But not as good of a treat as these Kiwi Watermelon Popsicles. I might be lying. I’m not sure.

Kiwi Watermelon Margarita Popsicles, makes 10

1/3 cup tequila

1/2 cup lime juice

3 tbsp. agave nectar

2 tbsp. triple sec

4 kiwis, peeled and sliced

2 cups watermelon

Popsicle mold

First, batch your margarita mix. Add tequila, triple sec, lime and agave nectar together. I did this in a measuring cup. Since we have to layer the popsicles were going to do them in two steps and I wanted them to both have the mix in them so that both parts are boozy.

Next, peel and slice your kiwis. Add them to the pitcher of your blender with a splash of the margarita mix to puree them. Once done blending evenly distribute the kiwi margarita mix into the popsicle molds. Send them to the freezer for an hour or so or until frozen. Reserve the rest of your margarita mix for the next step.

Once the kiwi portion of your popsicles is frozen it is time to make the watermelon layer. Add your watermelon to the clean pitcher of your blender with the rest of the margarita mix.

Blend and then evenly distribute between the popsicle molds on top of the kiwi layer. Put the top on the popsicle mold tray and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze up to four hours but overnight is always best.

I haven’t made a boozy popsicle in awhile and boy have I missed them. They were always such a pain to photograph in my old house in the summer because there was no AC. Try photographing something that is melting in a 90-degree kitchen. Not fun.

Happy to report that these were much easier to photograph. Turns out that having central air is amazing. Who knew? lol. I have a feeling I will be making a lot more popsicles this summer because they’re just too good. What’s not to like about dessert and a frozen cocktail combined together?

These Kiwi Watermelon Margarita Popsicles hit the spot on this very hot day because they’re tart and fruity and completely refreshing. Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits to use in margaritas and I’ve been drinking a lot of watermelon margaritas lately. Then it dawned on me that I should turn it into a popsicle. Not sure why I never thought of this sooner but I’m glad I finally did.

I hope you’ll make these Kiwi Watermelon Margarita Popsicles. Check out my other popsicle ideas like these Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles, Dark & Stormy Popsicles or these Aperol Spritz Popsicles. And if you make them don’t forget to comment below and let me know what you think.

Cheers everyone and have a safe July 4th weekend. Remember to wash those hands!

Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles

Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles

I reach a point every Summer when it just gets too damn hot. That is when everything I eat or drink has to be frozen. Coffee is no exception! I teamed up with Chila ‘Orchata Cinnamon Cream Rum to bring you these delicious Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles. Staying cool, caffeinating, and getting a buzz are all pretty high up on my priority list. Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles are the perfect treat when an iced coffee just isn’t going to cut it!

Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles

Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles, makes 10 popsicles

2 cups cold brew

1/4 cup sweetened coconut condensed milk

1/4 cup Chila ‘Orchata Cinnamon Cream Rum

popsicle mold

popsicle sticks

Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles

First, add 1 cup of cold brew to a bowl with sweetened coconut condensed milk and Chila ‘Orchata. Stir well and taste. If you want this mixture sweeter you can add either more coconut condensed milk or rum cream. Pour the cold brew-milk mixture into the popsicle molds only filling each one halfway. Place in freezer for about an hour.

Next, insert popsicle sticks and top off each mold with the remaining cold brew. Freeze for 4-6 hours but I always recommend letting them freeze overnight.

The recipe for these Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles couldn’t be more simple. They are so easy to put together even with the layering. Chila ‘Orchata is smooth, creamy, with a little hint of spice. It is a unique blend of Puerto Rican rum, real dairy cream, Tahitian vanilla, and exotic cinnamon. All the flavors of Chila ‘Orchata are wonderful for use in coffee and made these Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles extra delicious.

I’m usually a black coffee/cold brew drinker but adding a creamy latte element to these popsicles made them sweet, flavorful and refreshing. My new favorite thing to use in recipes is coconut condensed milk and it added just the right amount of sweetness and complimented the additional vanilla and cinnamon notes from the Chila ‘Orchata.

These Boozy Cold Brew Popsicles would be an amazing addition to any Summer brunch party. For me, I’d enjoy one on any regular afternoon just to pretend I’m on vacation. Hopefully, the cold brew kicks in and makes me semi-productive though. Another great idea: use them as a giant ice cube in your coffee!  Stay cool everyone and if you’re giving these a try at home don’t forget to chime in on the comments below. xo

Pineapple Rosé Popsicles

September 3, 2016 by Natalie Leave a Comment

Hello everyone and Happy Labor Day Weekend! I decided to make these pops last minute, I’ve been wanting to make boozy popsicles all summer but just never got around to it. TADA! This was my last chance to make it happen and they are quite delicious and will be the biggest hit at your BBQ or party. They are quite easy to prepare and even easier to devour. What’s everyones plans? I worked last night and also tonight, so I’m just going to stay local on Sunday and Monday. I got to sleep at 5am (bartender problems), so this post is going up later than expected. Also, I had a wifi disaster so I’m writing this from a coffee shop, where it also took me like an hour to get connected to their wifi. What the wifi? Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!

Pineapple Rosé Popsicles

Half a bottle of Rosé (about 1 3/4 cups)
2 tsp. Raspberry Liqueur or Syrup
1/4 Cup Pineapple Juice
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Sugar
About 1 cup fresh fruit. I used strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, and pineapple.

Make simple syrup with your sugar and water. Boil water on the stove or in an electric kettle and add to sugar, stir till all sugar has disolved, let cool. Combine Rosé, Raspberry Liqueur or Syrup, pineapple juice, and simple syrup in pitcher or bowl. Drop fruit into popsicle molds and pour the wine mixture in. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until solid.
