What Are Booze Pops?
Boozy popsicles are ice pops just for adults. They are made with juice and a type of alcohol and then frozen like popsicles.
Can You Put Alcohol in Popsicles?
Yes, you can put alcohol in popsicles to make alcohol infused popsicles. Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water (juice), so you will need to use the right ratio of alcohol to water (juice).
What Alcohol is Best for Popsicles?
You can use any alcohol when you learn how to make alcohol popsicles. Vodka is perhaps the most popular because it doesn't have a flavor.
You can also use rum, tequila, or other alcohol. It just depends on the flavor of the juice that you use and what flavor you want to end up with in your boozy popsicle recipe.
For these spiked popsicles, it's best to use an 80 to 90 proof alcohol. This will help prevent math when you calculate how much to use.
How Much Alcohol Can You Put in Spiked Popsicles?
Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water. The juice is mainly water, so it will freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
When you learn how to make alcohol popsicles, you want to use a ratio that will give you a popsicle without the alcohol and juice separating and turning into a slushie.
For the best boozy popsicle recipe, you'll want to use 5 parts of juice to 1 part of alcohol. This will give you about 5 to 10 percent alcohol in your boozy popsicles so they will freeze well.
This is based on a 40 to 45 percent alcohol or 80 to 90 proof.
Can You Freeze Wine Into Popsicles?
Yes, you can use wine for spiked popsicles. However, wine has a lower alcohol concentration. You can use wine and water or juice 1 to 1 for more wines.
How Long Does it Take Alcohol Popsicles to Freeze?
This depends on the mold that you use, but your alcohol infused popsicles should freeze in about four to six hours. However, I let them freeze all night just to make sure.

Spiked Popsicles Molds
