Nothing is better than a cool refreshing summertime drink. Well, what if you could turn that summertime drink into a treat for adults? That is where the gin and tonic popsicles come in.

How To Make Gin and Tonic Popsicles

The Gin and Tonic is quite possibly one of the most famous and popular cocktails in history. This recipe is found a way to take a classic cocktail and make it even better.

This recipe is perfect for a small get togethers or even big backyard barbecues. While the kids are running around with their fruit flavored popsicles, the adults can relax with something with a little more kick.

All you need is some sugar, fresh fruit, Dixie cups, and a couple of other ingredients and you are good to go.

You might also like an orange gin and tonic for a citrus twist on the regular gin and tonic.

Ingredients and Recipe

Gin and Tonic Pops are really easy to make. They do require a few more ingredients and a little more time than a standard Gin and Tonic. But the extra effort is well worth it.

You’ll need:

Gin

Note: You can even make your own homemade Gin

Tonic Water

Water

Lime Juice

Sugar

Various sliced fruit (strawberries, cucumber, blueberry, etc)

Popsicle sticks (optional)

Measuring cups

Spoon to stir (we use the jigger and spoon from this set)

Pitcher (we just use this one we got from our margarita set)

Once you gather your ingredients and supplies, you can get your drink made.

Step One

Take out all of your ingredients and place your picture on the counter.

Step Two

Start by adding ¼ Cup of sugar into the pitcher.

Step Three

Now add in ½ Cup of water, ⅓ Cup of lime juice, ¼ Cup of gin, and top it off with one and ½ cups of tonic water.

Step Four

Using your bar spoon, stir everything together until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set your pitcher to the side and get out your fruit and small Dixie Cups.

Step Five

Choose whatever fruit you like; Strawberries, cucumber, blueberries, etc. If they need to be sliced, do that now.

Step Six

Set out your Dixie Cups. This recipe should make about 9:00 or 10 popsicles. Take your pitcher and slowly pour the liquid into each of the Dixie Cups.

Step Seven

Place your chosen fruit into each of the cups, being careful not to overflow them.

If you like, you can put Popsicle sticks into the fruit. That way, when they freeze, you’ll have a handle for your pops. We skip this step and just use the cups almost like a push pop.

Step Eight

Put your pops on a flat level surface inside of your freezer. A cookie sheet worked great for this. They should freeze in about 5 hours, but we left them in our freezer overnight.
