Boozy Watermelon Mojito Popsicles

Remember when Tupperware parties were all the rage and of course the old Tupperware popsicle maker was in about every home?     I remember my mom would let us make frozen popsicles with about every flavor/color of kool-aid. We ran around all summer with different color lips and tongues from these fun treats. We just about wore out those popsicle makers.

Today we are bringing back some of the fun and memories today with an adult version of those flavored popsicles. Summer brings to mind watermelon, sunshine, and fun and now boozy popsicles!! 🌞🍹 Boozy watermelon mojito popsicles are made with rum, watermelon, mint, and agave. , These adult-only treats are the perfect way to beat the summer heat. Plus, who said popsicles are just for kids.

Now that I am an adult, kool-aid popsicles are just not enough, I do like reliving these fun memories but with an extra kick. And since I don’t think one could think of summer and not also think of watermelon or hot sunny days, these watermelon mint popsicles bring all that together since they are the perfect treat for hot summer days.  These are super easy to make and it’s kinda fun to make up a batch or two of these and keep them in the freezer all summer long.

These watermelon mojito popsicles have the cool flavor of mint plus a bit of rum. This recipe makes eight (8) watermelon mojito popsicles using two watermelon slice molds . But if you don’t have one the mixture can be poured into other mold.

We also made these mini frozen watermelon shots using red solo plastic shot glasses  and swizzle sticks which was fun.  To get the stick to stay in the middle, cover each glass with foil or plastic wrap, insert a swizzle stick in the center and freeze.

Boozy Watermelon Mojito Popsicles Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cubed watermelon
• 3 ounces rum
• 3 Tablespoons Agave
• ½ teaspoon mint extract

Equipment Needed:

• Blender
• Measuring Cups and spoons
• Watermelon Popsicle Molds

How to make Mojito Watermelon Popsicles:

• Place the cubed watermelon into your blender and puree until completely smooth.
• Add the rum, agave nectar, and mint extract. Blend again until everything is well combined and the mixture is silky smooth. Give it a quick taste — this is the perfect time to adjust the sweetness or mint flavor if needed.
• Carefully pour the boozy watermelon mojito mixture into your popsicle molds, leaving a small amount of space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
• Place the filled molds in the freezer and let them freeze overnight, or for a minimum of 12 hours, until completely firm.

• Once your popsicles are fully frozen, remove the mold from the freezer and turn it upside down over a plate or cutting board.
• Run warm (not hot) water over the bottom of one mold cavity for 5–10 seconds while gently pulling on the stick. The popsicle should slide out smoothly. Repeat with the remaining popsicles.

Helpful Tip: If they don’t release easily, run the warm water for just a few seconds more. Avoid using hot water, as it can melt the outside of the popsicles too quickly.

Serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing, boozy watermelon mint shooters! They’re the perfect cool treat for hot summer days and parties.
