These Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles are a tropical, frozen twist on the classic G&T! Sweet, sour and bodaciously boozy, these poptails are the perfect way to cool off after a long, hot summer day! 
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. 😉
Notes, Tips & Tricks to make the best Strawberry Mango Gin and Tonic Boozy Popsicles recipe:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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

Oh yummy, this is my favourite flavour! I have to try them!
High Five indeed on the fence, that would have driven me batty. We need a chat update on stuff, maybe I’ll call you later tomorrow? These are gorgeous, too BTW. 🙂
Cheyanne these are so beautiful and I swear they glow! These would be so perfect on one of our hot summer days but I have a feeling I would need more than one 😉 . Take care.
Hey Cheyanne, Congrats on the new fence and your new forever HOME of course 🙂 I’m sure you and the fur children are enjoying it by now while eating one of these amazing looking popsicles. I could sure get into a couple of these Right about now. Enjoy the weekend friend!
Hooray for a new fence! I could definitely “cheers” with you with these popsicles! I love the cheerful colors and the strawberry mango combination sounds so yummy! Have a fabulous weekend!
Absolutely beautiful! Bright golden and vibrant red are amazing together. Wish we had a hot summer over here..what we have here is just RAIN….so far, I still haven’t had any ice treat this year…too cold for that..sighs..
It’s chaotic and stressful, but I love the feeling of being in a new home. So exciting!! I hope your fence was worth the wait!! These popsicles are bodacious, boozy, and beautiful…almost too pretty to eat…but wouldn’t have any problem downing them! You know how to make popsicles right, Chey! 🙂
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!
Woohoo to the fencer! I’m sure it’s such a victory in the new house 🙂 Hopefully you enjoyed one of these insanely delicious popsicles while the fence finishes getting installed. I’m all about the boozy treats – and this one is absolutely gorgeous, and sounds so refreshing! Cheers to these. Have a great weekend!
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!
Yay for boozy popsicles, Cheyanne! And yay for the new fence – I had the same thing when i moved – couldn’t wait till it was done so my dog could come in the yard with me. Gorgeous pictures!
Look at this adult refreshment on a stick!!! I love it! And HOMEOWNERSHIP!! How on earth did I miss this?!

I’m going to get a big ol’ freezer and stuff it full of all your delicious popsicle recipes!
