Ginger paloma popsicles


  • Total Time: 12 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 popsicles, plus an extra drink (you’re welcome) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup ginger
  • 2 cups grapefruit juice
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ½ cup tequila
  • ½ cup club soda

Instructions

  1. Make the ginger simple syrup: Chop the ginger into small pieces (I don't peel it because we're going to strain it out, but you can peel it if you want). Combine with sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, and then remove from heat, let cool and strain.
  2. Combine syrup with grapefruit juice, lime juice, tequila and club soda. Pour into popsicle molds, leaving some room at the top for expansion. Freeze for at least 12 hours (I know that feels long, but I’ve found that works best for boozy popsicles like these).

Notes

Depending on the molds you use, you might have to let the popsicles freeze for a few hours before inserting the sticks so they stay straight.

If the popsicles are hard to remove from the mold, you can dip it into hot water for 15-20 seconds to help release.
