Print Recipe

These frozen watermelon margarita popsicles are a quick, easy, and refreshing adult summer treat combining sweet watermelon, tangy lime, and smooth tequila for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups watermelon, cubed and seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 large limes)
  • 1/2 cup tequila blanco (100% agave recommended)
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved)
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional, like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes (optional for slushier texture)

Instructions

  1. Cut about 4 cups of watermelon into cubes, removing seeds.
  2. Place watermelon cubes into a blender or food processor.
  3. Add 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup tequila blanco, 1/4 cup simple syrup, optional 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Blend until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute. If desired, add 1 cup ice cubes and pulse until crushed but not watery.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice as needed.
  6. Pour mixture into popsicle molds, leaving space at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
  7. Freeze upright for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until solid.
  8. To unmold, run molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently pull sticks out.
  9. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of coarse salt or a lime wedge if desired.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and orange liqueur and add extra lime juice with a splash of sparkling or coconut water. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavors. Freeze smaller portions for faster setting and stir halfway through freezing to reduce ice crystals. Rimming popsicles with salt adds a margarita vibe.
