Top tips

  • Servings may change depending on the size of the molds you have.
  • If you have them, you can add other berries to the sangrĆ­a popsicles.
  • If you have simple syrup, use it instead of sugar for popsicles that are smoother and don't form ice crystals.
  • If you don't have molds, you can use plastic cups or small glasses and bamboo skewers as sticks.

FAQs

Can you freeze alcohol into popsicles?

Adding alcohol will lower the freezing temperature of the water, so we have to be careful not to exceed the amount of alcohol in the recipe --even if tempted-- or they will not freeze. Adding even a bit more alcohol --in my experience-- made them thaw too fast to enjoy.

How long to freeze alcohol popsicles?

How long it takes to freeze alcohol popsicles will depend on the amount of alcohol added, the temperature of your freezer, placement inside the freezer, and the size of the popsicles. It should be frozen in at most 6 hours under normal conditions.
