3 Boozy Popsicle Recipes That Will Win All Summer Parties
3 Sugar-Free Boozy Popsicles That Will Win All Summer Parties
After a seemingly endless winter, summer is finally in full swing, and we are ALL about cocktails in popsicle form for beating the heat! We teamed up with hint® water to share three sugar-free boozy popsicle recipes that you should probably have in your freezer at all times.
Each popsicle recipe is made using hint® water, fresh fruit, and, of course, a little liquor, and takes minutes to make. In addition to being extremely delicious, they’re pretty dang cute and colorful as well.
The trick with cocktail pops is that whole liquor not really freezing thing, so you need to add plenty of other liquids. hint® water makes for the perfect poptail foundation. It's a great tasting, healthy alternative to sugary and diet sweetened drinks, whether you're drinking it straight up or using it as an ingredient. You could definitely make non-alcoholic versions of these popsicles for the non-drinkers and kiddos in your summer crew. And to make your popsicle-making dreams really come true, we’re offering a special discount — head here to pick up three cases of hint® water for $39.99!
Of course, it's always good to make sure you've got some healthy snacks and nourishment to go alongside your boozy pops. Now, let the poptail games begin!

- Mix together the ginger hint® sparkling water, vodka, pineapple puree, and ginger with a whisk. You can also sub in a different flavor of hint® sparkling water to mix things up!
- Place one lime slice in each popsicle mold.
- Use a funnel to fill each popsicle mold to the top with liquid and place the lid and popsicle sticks into each mold.
- Freeze for at least six hours or until frozen through.
We love how you can see the lime slices peeking through in each popsicle.
If your popsicles melt before everyone has a chance to try them, add a ladle and call it punch!

These sweet sleeves are here to refresh you.For this popsicle remix, we went for a sweet and fruity take on a classic morning brunch cocktail.

The results are mouth-watering, and the sleeves make it easy to freeze and re-freeze a few times over. If you really want to slay the summer potluck game, throw these in a cooler and prepare to be crowned cocktail queen.

- 12 ounces sparkling wine
- 10 ounces mango puree
- ½ cup chopped raspberries
- 20 mango slices
Directions:
- Mix together the raspberry hint® water, sparkling wine, and mango puree with a whisk.
- Place a small spoonful of the raspberries and two mango slices into each popsicle sleeve. We recommend placing the sleeve in a jar or glass to help hold it up while you fill.
- Using a funnel, fill the sleeve with the liquid mixture to within half an inch of the top and seal the sleeve.
- Freeze for 6 hours or until pops have a slushy-like consistency.
The best thing about these pops is they're pretty darn good even if they're halfway melted!
