Ingredients
- 3 cups fruit juice or mixer of your choice (e.g. orange juice, pink lemonade, tropical punch)
- 1 cup vodka (or adjust to taste; see notes below)
- Optional: Fresh fruit slices (berries, lime, mango)
- Optional: Splash of simple syrup or honey (if using tart or unsweetened juice)
Instructions
- Mix your base: In a large pitcher or jug, combine 3 parts juice to 1 part vodka (e.g. 3 cups juice + 1 cup vodka). Taste and adjust—the mix should be a bit sweeter than your typical cocktail since freezing dulls sweetness. Add simple syrup or honey if needed.
- Optional fruit additions: Drop thin slices of fresh fruit into each mold for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Fill the molds: Pour the mixture evenly into your popsicle molds or plastic cups, leaving about 1/4 inch at the top for expansion.
- Add sticks: If using molds, insert the sticks now. If using plastic cups, cover each cup with foil or masking tape and poke the stick through the center to hold it in place.
- Freeze: Place molds upright in the freezer and freeze for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Unmold and serve: Run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen. Serve immediately, ideally in a chilled glass to catch any drips.
