Margarita Popsicles

The basil adds such a crisp, fresh taste to these popsicles, you would never guess the peaches were frozen. Peach nectar provides most of the liquid along with tequila (wouldn’t be a margarita without it) and a few tablespoons of honey adds just the right amount of sweetness. This recipe is so easy and refreshing. I mean seriously, a margarita on a stick! How much better can it get?

This is one of those recipes that you will have to taste as you go along. You may like more tequila (don’t worry, I won’t judge) or more honey. Anything goes with this recipe. If you are happy, then I am happy. And tequila will make us both happy.

Recipe Tips

• The food processor does all the work in this recipe. I poured out the peach mixture into a large measuring cup to make pouring into my popsicle molds easier. If you have an awesome blender then that may be a better option.
• Freeze your popsicles for 30 minutes, then insert your popsicle sticks. They’ll stay straight that way.

FAQs

How long are frozen popsicles good for?

While these popsicles could probably last indefinitely you will want to use them up within a few months (like 3 months) because any longer and you risk flavorless and freezer burn. After removing the popsicles from the mold wrap them well in plastic wrap and keep them stored in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat. This will help to keep them from sticking and to help keep them nice and fresh tasting.

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Yes, if desired you can use frozen peaches instead of fresh. This is perfect for when you want to enjoy this recipe but fresh peaches aren’t in season!

How do I get popsicles out of the mold?

To release your popsicles after they have frozen completely, simply run some warm water over the outside of the container for about 30 seconds, the popsicles should pull right out. This is the easiest trick and one that works with just about any popsicle mold.
