HOLIDAY MARGARITA WITH POMEGRANATE POPSICLE
Did you know that boozy popsicles are also known as poptails? That makes me laugh.
This holiday margarita and boozy popsicle is a pleasing cocktail in both appearance and taste. This combination is a must-have during the holiday season!
I have been wanting to share these with you for so long! I thought of this idea during the summer and made them several times to get the recipe just right. They’re so much fun and definitely provide a ‘wow factor’ when you serve them.
Speaking of ‘wow factor’, I love pretty cocktails. If you’re a fan of them too, you’ve got to check out this Mary Pickford Cocktail and Italian Amaretto Margarita. Isn’t she pretty? It tastes amazing too!
CAN I MAKE A HOLIDAY MARGARITA AND POMEGRANATE POPSICLE VIRGIN?
Yes, and you probably need to if they’re will be kids in attendance. After all, who can pass up a popsicle?
For four virgin margaritas
- Rim the glass with salt or sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups ice
- 3/4 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 3/4 cup Topo Chico (or other sparkling water)
- garnish as desired
Combine all ingreients. Pour into sugar or salt-rimmed glasses. Serve over ice.
For virgin popsicles
Use the recipe below but omit Grand Marnier.
MAKE A SALT OR SUGAR RIM
- First, you’ll need a shallow plate or bowl of water, lime juice, or lemon juice. Dip the rim of your glass into the liquid. Alternatively, you could cut a lime or lemon wedge and moisten the rim with it.
- Next, you want to evenly dip the rim of your cocktail glass into the sugar, salt, or whatever you’re riming the glass with. I have used chocolate and caramel to the rim on appropriate cocktails. You may want to use coconut or sprinkles, dependingly on what cocktail you’re serving.
- Finally, mix your drink and pour it into your glass. Garnish as desired and serve.
