Hi-ya, friends!

Happy almost weekend!

Today I am going to keep things relatively short… but, for good reason.

If you loyally follow (and actually read) this blog, you know Boy and I recently moved into our brand spankin’ new, forever (until retirement) home.

Well, today the fence is FINALLY being installed! Wahoo!

Even though we just moved in 3 weeks ago, we have been waiting on the fence installation for twelve weeks.

TWELVE.

As in roughly 2 ¾ months.

I couldn’t be more excited the fence is finally here, but I’m also very easily distracted. And right now men are banging away in my backyard while my fur-child is running around howling like a lunatic. Obviously the current environment isn’t the most conducive for my productivity.

Ya heard?

So instead of all the chit chat, let’s simply quench our #ThirstyThursday thirst with popsicles.

BOOZY popsicles.

YAAASSSSSS!

Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles

Aka G&T POPTAILS.

Basically these popsicles are your classic gin and tonic cocktails gone gloriously rogue.

Fruity, sweet and sour with smooth nuances of tropical mango, a hint of boozy gin and tonic vibes and magnificent, big ‘ole slices of sweet strawberries.

Refreshing, vibrant, and doubling as cocktails AND dessert, these popsicles are how you WIN at LIFE.

… Or at least win at #ThirstyThursday. 😉Overhead shot of Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles on a surface of crushed ice with lime slices and strawberries strewn around the popsicles.Overhead, up close shot of a Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicle on a surface of ice with more popsicles, lime slices and strawberries peeking in the frame.

Notes, Tips & Tricks to make the best Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles recipe:

  1. The recipe below calls for 2 cups of peeled and cubed mango, which is roughly 2 average sized mangoes. While I highly encourage you to use fresh, ripe mangoes you can absolutely substitute frozen mango cubes if desired.
  2. You can use any kind of tonic water you would like. I used diet tonic water in my popsicles and they turned out delish. If you are more of a Gin Rickey person, you can absolutely substitute club soda for the tonic.
  3. Lime Juice Cordial is simply sweetened lime juice. You should be able to find it in your local grocery store near the mixers, juice or grenadine. I’ve used this one before. But, if you can’t find it, don’t want to buy it, or simply want to make it yourself (<– High five for you!), I have included how to DIY in the notes section of the recipe below.
  4. I recommend dividing half the strawberry slices between the popsicle molds, pouring the mango cocktail mix into the molds, and then dropping in the remaining strawberry slices. Layering the strawberries in steps will help keep them suspended and prevent them from all sinking to the bottom.
  5. The recipe below yields approximately 8-10 popsicles. It will largely depend on the size of your popsicle mold and how many strawberry slices you add to each. I added about 4 slices of strawberry to each mold and ended up with 9 popsicles.
  6. If you have a hard time removing the popsicles from the mold, run the sides of the mold under room temperature water for 30 seconds or so.Angled shot of Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles on a white tray filled with ice with lime slices and strawberries strewn around the popsicles.

Tropical, boozy and guaranteed to help you chillax, these Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles belong in your life! Get it while the summer gettin’ is still good, friends.

Until next week, cheers – to cocktails on a stick.

XOXO

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Ripe Mangos – peeled and cubed (about 2 mangos)*
  • 8-10 Fresh Strawberries – thinly sliced
  • ¼ Cup Gin
  • 1 Cup Tonic Water*
  • ¼ Cup Lime Juice Cordial*

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine cubed mango with gin, tonic and lime juice cordial. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Divide half the strawberry slices between popsicle molds.
  • Pour the mango cocktail mix into popsicle molds and fill with remaining slices of strawberries.
  • Transfer molds to freezer and freeze for 1 hour, or until just slightly firm.
  • Remove molds and insert a popsicle stick into the center of each mold.
  • Return molds to the freezer and freeze until completely firm, about 4+ hours.
  • Remove popsicle from molds* and enjoy!

Notes

1. The calls for 2 cups of peeled and cubed mango, which is roughly 2 average sized mangoes. While I highly encourage you to use fresh, ripe mangoes you can absolutely substitute frozen mango cubes if desired.
 
2. You can use any kind of tonic water you would like. I used diet tonic water in my popsicles and they turned out delicious. If you are more of a Gin Rickey person, you can absolutely substitute club soda for the tonic.
 
3. Lime Juice Cordial is simply sweetened lime juice. You should be able to find it in your local grocery store near the mixers, juice or grenadine.  If you can’t find it, or don’t want to buy it, you can make it yourself:
Homemade Sweetened Lime Juice (Yield: enough for roughly 4 cocktails)
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup Lime Juice
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly.  Boil just long enough for the sugar to dissolve.
  2. Remove from the heat and let sit until it reaches room temperature.  Stir in the lime juice transfer to a covered container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
 
4. I recommend dividing half the strawberry slices between the popsicle molds, pouring the mango cocktail mix into the molds, and then dropping in the remaining strawberry slices. Layering the strawberries in steps will help keep them suspended and prevent them from all sinking to the bottom.
 
5. The recipe below yields approximately 8-10 popsicles. It will largely depend on the size of your popsicle mold and how many strawberry slices you add to each. I added about 4 slices of strawberry to each mold and ended up with 9 popsicles.
 
6. If you have a hard time removing the popsicles from the mold, run the sides of the mold under room temperature water for 30 seconds or so.

    Congrats on getting your fence installed! My dog goes crazy when anything goes on in the yard so I get it. 🙂 These pops are like rays of sunshine — they’re so pretty! I’d rather eat gin and tonic than drink it any day especially with mango and strawberry! I’m currently wishing I had one right now…it’s so hot!

    Please tell me the secret to getting your fruit not to float to the bottom on your popsicles. No matter what I do I can’t figure it out. super excited about your move to your forever home!!! High-5 on the fence finally being installed. You should eat one of these delicious boozy popsicles leaning against your new fence 🙂

      My not-so-secret secret is I layer the strawberries and the liquid, Mary! I included that tip in the recipe. If you take half the strawberries and add them to the mold, then add the mojito gin and tonic mixture, then drop in the remaining strawberries slices, the strawberries should stay suspended like you see here. I do that with all the fruit and liquid mixtures for my popsicles! 🙂 Thanks for the comment and question, friend!
