Strawberry Margarita Popsicles
Meet the Jello-O Shot’s cooler cousin: Strawberry Margarita Popsicles. Fresh-flavored and frosty, these snackable cocktails on a stick are my solution to beating the heat.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 pounds strawberries, stems removed
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tablespoon silver tequila
- 2 Tablespoons agave nectar
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
Blend the strawberries in a blender until they are puréed.
Pour the strawberries into a large liquid measuring cup or bowl with a spout then stir in the tequila, agave nectar and lime juice.
Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds, insert the popsicle sticks and freeze the popsicles until they are frozen solid.
To unmold the popsicles, run them under lukewarm water for 10 seconds then slide them from the molds.
