Ingredients
  

For the Popsicles

  • 2 cups fresh orange juice Pulp-free store bought or freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup silver tequila Light tequila for best results
  • 1/2 cup grenadine For layering; use cherry or pomegranate syrup as substitute if necessary

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup maraschino cherries Chopped, for added flavor
  • 1 squeeze lime juice To taste, for added tartness
  • pinch none salt To enhance citrus flavors

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the silver tequila and orange juice.
  • Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top.
  • Slowly pour the grenadine into each mold, allowing it to sink for that layered sunrise effect.

Freezing

  • Insert popsicle sticks and freeze overnight.

Serving

  • To unmold, run the molds under cool water for 10-20 seconds then gently wiggle to release.
  • Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper and store in a freezer bag for later use.

Notes

These popsicles are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. Eating them too late may affect texture and flavor.
