Paloma Popsicles | The Nutrition AdventureA couple summerโ€™s ago, a friend introduced me to the tastiest summer beverage, the Paloma. A combination of grapefruit, lime, sugar, and tequila, a Paloma is similar to a grapefruit margarita. While I love sipping on this cocktail in the summer, I thought Paloma Popsicles would be a super cool (pun intended) way to enjoy it!

Before we get to the recipe for these popsicles, Iโ€™ll share a secret with you about creating a Paloma cocktail at home. My friends and I have a shortcut recipe that we love, which uses Grapefruit Jarritosยฎ soda in place of fresh grapefruit juice. Sometimes, you just need a cocktail fast without all the mess, ya know? Thereโ€™s no denying that fresh grapefruit juice really makes a difference so if you have the time, go that route. But if not, this shortcut option is just as refreshing! Okay, now itโ€™s time to turn my favorite summer beverage into a popsicle!

The number of popsicles you end up with will depend on the size of the popsicle molds you use, but this recipe makes 2 1/2 cups of popsicle liquid total. I was able to make 6 popsicles with the molds I have, but Iโ€™m already wishing I had made a double batch.

I highly encourage making these and then inviting some friends over to enjoy them with you!

    1. Thereโ€™s a fine ratio of how much alcohol to non-alcohol you can use in order for them to freeze but Iโ€™ve made several boozy popsicles!
