Watermelon Margarita Popsicles


Another of my favorite sites, Yum Sugar, posted a recipe for watermelon margarita popsicles. I can not think of a more fun way to end a party on a hot summer night. I personally am allergic to watermelon, so I might experiment with some other fruit and let you know how it goes.
2 cups watermelon puree (roughly 1/4 medium size seedless watermelon) 1/4 cup lime juice (roughly 1 large lime)
3 ounces tequila
1 ounce cointreau
2/3 cup sugar
Chop the watermelon into small pieces. Using a Cuisinart, puree the watermelon. Place the puree in a large mixing bowl.
Add lime juice and sugar to watermelon puree. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add tequila and cointreau and stir well.
Fill popsicle molds or Dixie cups. If using a dixie cup, cut small squares of tinfoil to cover the top of each of the cups.
Use a sharp small knife and cut small slits in the tops of the tinfoil to insert the popsicle stick.
Place the Dixie cups in a flat bottomed container. Place the popsicles in the freezer and wait patiently until frozen.
