Method

  1. Prepare the margarita base by combining lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, water, tequila, and orange liqueur in a large glass measuring cup or pitcher.

  2. Take 1/3 of the mixture and pour it into 5 separate Dixie cups.

  3. Pour another 1/3 of the margarita base into a blender. Add frozen mango and blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add water gradually until desired consistency is achieved. Divide this mango mixture among 5 more Dixie cups.

  4. Rinse the blender and pour the remaining 1/3 of the margarita base into it. Add strawberries and blend until smooth and creamy. Again, add water if necessary. Divide this strawberry mixture among the last 5 Dixie cups.

  5. Place a wooden spoon or popsicle stick into the center of each lime slice and carefully place them on top of each cup, ensuring there is no gap between the mixture and the lime slice.

  6. Freeze the cups until they are completely solid, which usually takes at least 5 hours or overnight.

  7. When you're ready to serve, use scissors to cut open each Dixie cup and peel them away from the popsicles.

  8. Finally, sprinkle the popsicles with margarita salt before serving.

How long do margarita pops take to freeze?

Margarita pops typically take around 4-6 hours to freeze completely. However, it's best to leave them in the freezer overnight to ensure they are fully set.

Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?

While fresh lime juice is always best for optimal flavor, you can use bottled lime juice if that's what you have on hand. Just make sure it's 100% lime juice without any added sweeteners.

Can I add fruit to my margarita pops?

Absolutely! Feel free to get creative and add your favorite fruits to the popsicle molds before pouring in the margarita mixture. Sliced strawberries, diced mango, or even watermelon chunks would make delicious additions.

Are margarita pops suitable for kids?

The alcohol content in margarita pops is minimal, as it is diluted by the other ingredients and frozen. However, if you prefer a completely alcohol-free version for kids, simply omit the tequila and follow the recipe as usual.

Can I use a different type of alcohol instead of tequila?

Absolutely! If you're not a fan of tequila, you can experiment with other spirits such as vodka or rum. Just keep in mind that it will alter the flavor profile of the popsicles.

How long can I store margarita pops in the freezer?

Margarita pops can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.

Can I use salt to rim the popsicle molds?

While you can certainly rim the popsicle molds with salt for an added touch, keep in mind that the salt may dissolve and mix with the margarita mixture as it freezes. If you prefer a salted rim, it's best to sprinkle some salt on the popsicles just before serving.
