Summer is still here. And depending on where you live, so is the sun! That means it’s the perfect time for popsicles. Of course, we believe everything is better with booze.

Along with Savvy Housekeeping, we experimented with alcoholic popsicles (cleverly called shotsicles!). The results were tasty. Chocolate Bourbon and Tequila Melon were the flavors we triumphed with, but a few substitutions and you can devise your own tasty flavor.

Shotsicles have to be low in alcohol because alcohol doesn’t freeze very well. To get them to work, you need to combine the alcohol with juices and syrups, and even then they take longer than your average pop to freeze. But they are worth the wait–sweet and delicious with a tinge of booze in the background, just enough to give the popsicle some edge.

The result won’t get you drunk, but it will taste great!
