Piña Colada Popsicle Cocktails
Description
Piña Colada Popsicle Cocktails blend ingredients typical to the classic drink — coconut cream, pineapple, pineapple juice, rum, and orange liqueur — into a slushy, boozy freeze pop. The use of frozen pineapple reduces dilution while creating a thick texture melted down by blending. Measuring the rum carefully and maxing it at 8 ounces ensures the popsicles freeze properly without becoming too soft. Sealing the mixture in freezer sleeves allows easy portion control and transport.
The method is straightforward: blend until smooth, fill the sleeves just to the filling line, seal tightly removing air pockets, then freeze at least six hours until fully firm. These popsicles offer a novel way to enjoy a tropical cocktail on a hot day without needing a glass or additional mixers.
Storage notes specify freezing for up to three months. The recipe balances alcohol content and freeze-ability to maintain texture and booziness. Adjust rum level carefully to avoid popsicles that won't solidify.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut cream
- 2-3 cups pineapple frozen
- 6 oz pineapple juice (1 small can)
- 2 oz orange liqueur
- 6-8 oz rum coconut flavored
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. Note: always start with less Rum and add more as needed.
- Blend until everything is combined. Taste the mixture; add more Rum if desired. 8 ounces is the maximum amount I recommend.
- Use a kitchen funnel to pour the pina colada mixture into individual plastic freeze pop sleeves. Only fill to the line and seal (removing as much air as possible from each sleeve).
- Transfer them onto a small baking sheet and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely frozen.
- Enjoy poolside or wherever a boozy freeze pop tastes best!
Notes
- Store frozen popsicles for up to 3 months.
- Limit rum to 8 ounces or less to ensure popsicles freeze properly.
