Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Orange juice
- 0.25 cups Tequila
- 4 tablespoons Grenadine syrup
- 0.5 cup Chopped fresh orange (optional, for garnish)
- 8 pieces Ice pop molds
- 8 pieces Popsicle sticks
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine orange juice and tequila. Stir well to combine.
Pour the orange juice and tequila mixture evenly into the ice pop molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Add a small piece or two of chopped fresh orange into each mold if desired for added flavor and texture.
Carefully spoon 1/2 tablespoon of grenadine syrup into each mold. The grenadine will sink to the bottom, creating the signature 'sunrise' gradient effect.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds. If the molds have built-in stick holders, secure them now.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, remove the ice pops from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds to loosen them.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and delicious Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops!
