Here's an easy boozy popsicle recipe for summer. Just stir a few things together and pour the liquid into a popsicle mold! Once the pops freeze a few hours or overnight, you have a fun dessert cocktail or ice pop for a hot afternoon.
This adult treat is so simple to make (with a popsicle maker under $30) you'll never need store-bought frozen wine pops again. This kit comes in two sizes and includes popsicle sticks, silicone popsicle molds that make them easy to unmold, and a lid to hold the sticks in place and prevent spilling. It even includes a funnel to make it easy to fill!
Here's what you'll need
To make a batch of these fun frozen dessert cocktails you’ll need just a few simple ingredients.
- rosé wine - any kind of rosé that you like will work
- red fruit juice - this help intensify the color and also adds sweetness and flavor
- sliced strawberries - fresh berry slices to freeze inside the pops for texture and flavor
How to make strawberry winesicles
The most important thing to remember when making wine popsicles is the ratio of wine to juice in the wine mixture. Since alcohol doesn't freeze solid, you need to make sure you have enough juice in the blend to get the pops to freeze (adding juice reduces the alcohol content.)
I also find putting them in the coldest spot in your freezer helps. I have a side-by-side refrigerator and when I tried freezing the winesicles on the bottom shelf they didn't freeze all the way through. But when I moved them to the middle shelf, they froze solid and were easy to remove from the popsicle molds.
As for wine, I love rosé wine with strawberries! It's my favorite wine popsicle combination (rosé is my go-to summer wine). But you can also use your favorite white wine - chardonnay or pinot grigio would work well with strawberry and fruit flavors.
Here's the key to making these popsicles so quick and easy - use your favorite berry flavored fruit juice! Of course, you can puree fruit in the food processor or high-speed blender (watermelon juice is my favorite for this if I'm making juice from scratch), but it's so much quicker to just stir together the juice and wine in a large measuring cup.
For strawberry popsicles, use a red juice blend with berries in it. Then just slice a few sweet strawberries - use fresh strawberries from the farmers market for the best flavor - and you're ready to create this frozen treat.
Wine popsicle ideas for other flavors
Once you know how to make wine popsicles, you'll want to try all kinds of different flavors. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- for ice cream like creaminess, substitute sweet coconut milk for some of the fruit juice
- try adding other fresh fruits - I love peaches or mangos with chardonnay and white fruit juice or try blueberry reisling with a squeeze of fresh lime juice
- for a red wine popsicles - try a pinot noir with fruit that echos the flavors like raspberry or cherry
- if you love sangria - make a version with red wine, orange juice and lemon juice or lime juice (you can always add a little simple syrup if it needs more sweetness)
- if you love strawberries, you can puree watermelon and fresh or frozen strawberries to make the juice
- and don't forget the bubbly - try substituting prosecco, cava, champagne or sparkling wine for the wine in this recipe
No matter how you make them, these homemade strawberry winesicles are the perfect treat for hot days!
