Watermelon Mezcal Pops image

These spiked watermelon ice pops will keep you cool all summer long; just throw everything in a blender, pour into molds and freeze. With just the right amount of smoky mezcal and a hint of lime juice, they are as refreshing as they are fun to eat. Feel free to use orange juice instead of mezcal for a non-alcoholic version.

Time 8h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 cups diced seedless watermelon (about 1/2-inch dice)
1/3 cup mezcal
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons superfine sugar

Steps:

  • Blend the watermelon, mezcal, lime juice and sugar in a blender on high until very smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Give the mixture a good stir with a large spoon or rubber spatula to make sure most of the foam has subsided, then pour into six 4-ounce ice-pop molds. Freeze until solid, at least 8 hours and preferably overnight.
  • The ice pops will keep in the freezer up to 2 weeks. Right before serving, run them under hot water for 5 to 10 seconds to make them easier to unmold.
