Easy Alcohol Freeze Pops Recipes That Beat The Heat

Alcohol freeze pops are the ultimate warm weather, adult treat.

Who says freeze pops are just for kids? The popsicle was actually invited by one, 11 year old Frank Epperson in 1905 - but that doesn’t mean we still can’t add booze to ours.

Legend holds Frank left a cup of powdered soda (whatever that is!), water, and a stirring stick on his San Francisco porch and thanks to low temperatures that night, the mixture froze— and tada! The summertime staple was born. 

Adult freeze pops, or boozy pops if you prefer, are an easy-to-make warm weather treat. If Frank accidentally made one over 100 years ago, you can certainly whip one up on purpose. 

Use any old juice and alcohol combo you like, but our recipes came out pretty dang good using vodka and some kick-ass nectars from Alain Milliat. 

And please, always consume alcohol freeze pops responsibly!
