How can you get to licking a pop asap? Just follow this easy recipe and you will feel like you are laying on a tropical beach in no time!

Boozy Tropical Popsicle Ingredients:

•Malibu Rum

•Clear Soda (We Used Sprite)

•Fresh Lime Juice

•Popsicle Mold

Boozy Tropical Popsicle Instructions:

1. First things first. Take your popsicle mold apart by removing the popsicle sticks.

2. Fill each section of the popsicle mold with a quarter of Malibu Rum. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but the more alcohol you add, the less frozen your popsicle will be. You don’t want slush! A quarter of Malibu makes the perfect textured popsicle. Firm and frozen!

3. Grab your bottle of clear soda (we used Sprite) and top off each section of the mold.

4. To make your Malibu Run Popsicles extra tropical – squeeze a little bit of fresh lime juice into each section.

5. It’s now time to take those popsicle sticks and place them back into the mold. Once you have your mold back together, place your popsicles in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Or until pops are totally firm.

6. Once your popsicles have frozen completely solid, rinse your mold off with a little bit of hot water. This will loosen the popsicles enough to slide them out of the mold without breaking.

7. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy your ever so grown up popsicle!
