These Raspberry Gin Fizz Boozy Popsicles are icy cold, refreshing, fruity and sweet with a hint of mint, a boozy gin touch, and pops of whole, fabulously fresh raspberries. Spectacular in taste and pretty to boot, these poptails are the perfect way to celebrate summer!
Hello there friends! How was everyone’s weekend and Father’s Day?
Our weekend was pretty mellow and predictable. Lots of grilling, household chores, working, and a touch of relaxation accompanied by popcorn and the couch. While it wasn’t the beach, I can’t complain. 😉
Anyways, today is a very special day.
Why? Well, for a couple reasons.
First of all, today is my friend Megan’s 100th post. You might know Megan from her blog The Emotional Baker, she is pretty fabulous and posts amazing treats that make me salivate. Like Cashew Butter Cookie Dough Stuffed Oreos, for example. Totally fabulous.
To celebrate, a few (15 to be exact) food bloggers and I are partaking in a giveaway to salute Megan and all her 100 posts of blogging glory. So be sure you scroll all the way down, past the recipe and enter to win a Amazon Gift Card or a Baking Tools Prize Pack! (UPDATE: GIVEAWAY CLOSED)
On top of the terrific giveaway, today also happens to mark the beginning of #Popsicleweek. An entire week dedicated to popsicles!!
Did you faint with excitement? I know I personally have a napkin tucked into the front of my shirt, ready to eat ALL the popsicles in ALL the flavors. Sticky hands be damned. Be sure to popsicle party it up with us and follow along on social media with the hashtag #Popsicleweek.
Soooo, to celebrate Megan and #Popsicleweek, I have a special treat for you guys – Poptails. <– Popsicle meets cocktail.
Raspberry Gin Fizz Boozy Popsicles
These boozy popsicles are all sorts of awesome and perfect for summer, friends. I mean, a cocktail in frozen popsicle form? Yaaaahs. All day long, Yes.Yes.Yaaaaaaaahhss!
These pops are icy cold, refreshing, fruity and sweet with a hint of mint, a boozy gin touch, and pops of whole, fabulously fresh raspberries.
Obviously they are spectacular in the taste department, but they are pretty to boot! Don’t you just love the transparent pink color with the fuchsia raspberries peeking through? Swoon!
These poptails are definitely worthy of a celebration a two. 😉
Kitchen tips for the best gin popsicles with fruit!
- The raspberry popsicle recipe below will yield roughly 14 popsicles, but it depends on the size of your mold and how many fresh raspberries you add. I used a 6 ounce container of raspberries in the entire recipe below, including the simple syrup and the actual popsicles. You can definitely add more fresh raspberries to your molds if you would like, which will yield more popsicles. The world is your oyster, so by all means, add fresh raspberries to your hearts content.
- I like to let my popsicles sit in the freezer for one hour before I add the sticks. I find this helps the sticks stand up straight versus lopsided.
- If you have a hard time removing the popsicles from the mold, run the mold under warm water for 30 seconds or so. I have a classic 10-pop mold, and never have a problem, but should your mold give you trouble, just give it the warm water treatment!
Join me in celebrating the official start of summer and #Popsicleweek with these boozy, rad Raspberry Gin Fizz Boozy Popsicles. And don’t forget to enter the giveaway below! Until Thursday friends, cheers – to Poptails!
XOXO

Boozy popsicles are brilliant – can’t wait to try these!
These popsicles are absolutely incredible! You really combined here all my favourite things in one boozy goodness. Raspberry and gin is a wonderful combo, I am making these for the weekend for sure. Thanks for the lovely idea, pinned 🙂
When I saw these, I knew I´d love them! They are so so PRETTY too!! Congrats on Megan´s 100th post too!! ps. where did you buy your mold because I´ve been looking for one like this?
Poptails are always a good idea! These are so pretty!
Back in the day. . .you know when I lived in Ohio (what? you don’t know?). . .my favorite cocktail was the popsicle martini. It’s sort of like two treats in one . ..but you made this bad boy even more efficient by rolling them up into one fine treat because in this day and age. . .who has time for two treats? Not this on-the-go girl, no siree.
I was on a popsicle making frenzy before I galavanted off to Shanghai (is there a better way to cool down?) and can’t wait to get home to give these boozy beauties a try.
In the summer I crave popsicles more than anything! I love that these are so easy to make and the addition of gin is genius!
So I’m down for any recipe with berries. Coincidentally, I’m also down for any recipe involving gin. Sooo what I’m saying is your popsicles are perfection!
