Who says grown-up refreshment has to be limited to a margarita on the patio? This is why we’ve created tequila rose popsicles. They’re the perfect solution for those days when pina colada popsicles feel too tropical and strawberry lemonade popsicles lack the boozy touch we’re seeking.  This recipe takes the innocent charm of the childhood popsicle and infuses it with the sophisticated – alright, maybe slightly mischievous – flavor of tequila rose.

What is Tequila Rose?

Tequila Rose is the original strawberry cream liqueur, with the silky smooth pairing of rich strawberry cream and the thrilling bite of tequila. It was the first drink to pair cream with anything other than Irish whiskey. Unexpectedly Delicious.

What You Need to Make Tequila Rose Popsicles

  • Fresh strawberries: Add a burst of sweetness and bright, summery flavor to the popsicles.
  • Instant dissolving sugar: This sweetens the popsicles and helps them freeze smoothly. Since it dissolves quickly, you won’t get any icy crystals.
  • Tequila Rose Liqueur: This is what makes these popsicles boozy! It adds a creamy strawberry and tequila flavor, giving them a fun, grown-up twist.
  • Greek yogurt: This creates a creamy base for the popsicles and adds a touch of tanginess that helps balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

How to Make Strawberry Popsicles

  • Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Puree until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  • Pour into popsicle molds or small cups.
  • Let it sit in the freezer for an hour and a half or until the popsicles are almost set, but you are able to stick a popsicle in. Insert popsicle sticks, making sure to not go too far.
  • Freeze until set, about 4 hours.
  • Remove popsicles from cups and serve immediately.

Expert Recipe Tips


  • Don’t have popsicle molds? No worries!  Use small paper cups or even silicone muffin tins for a fun twist.  Just be sure to insert popsicle sticks before freezing!
  • Feeling fancy?  Try layering the popsicles!  Pour half the mixture into the molds, freeze for an hour, then add a layer of fresh lime slices or chopped strawberries before pouring the remaining mixture. This creates a beautiful, layered effect.
  • Want more sweetness? Add a splash of simple syrup before freezing the popsicles.

Recipe FAQs

Absolutely! Frozen strawberries work in a pinch, but fresh strawberries will give you the best texture and the brightest flavor.  If you do use frozen strawberries, be sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the blender.

Yes, you can definitely experiment with different flavors! Try using other cream liqueurs like Baileys or RumChata for a different twist. Just remember, these liqueurs might have varying levels of sweetness, so you might need to adjust the amount of sugar you use in the recipe.

Ah, crap. Legal stuff. Pass the Sushi does not condone giving kids alcohol – even if it does quiet them down for a bit.
