It doesn’t have to be summer to enjoy these alcoholic popsicles. I keep them in the freezer for an impromptu night by the fire pit or a fun cocktail hour treat.

Where’s the recipe?

If you’re looking for a detailed how-to, read the post below before heading to the recipe. I go through all the details you need to make these freezer pops. If you’d like to skip straight to the recipe for Vodka Popsicles with Lemonade, scroll down to the printable recipe!

Ingredients in Vodka Popsicles with Lemonade

• Vodka: Very much a personal preference. I prefer Ketel One and Tito’s, but everyone has their favorite. 
• Lemonade: You can use any lemonade you prefer. I like Simply Lemonade that you can find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, but these vodka popsicles work with whatever your favorite lemonade is.

How to make vodka popsicles with lemonade

This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, but needs to stored in the freezer for up to 12 hours before eating.

1. Mix vodka and lemonade in a large bowl or pitcher.
2. Using a kitchen funnel, pour just over ½ cup of vodka and lemonade mixture into a pouch, leaving about an inch from the top. Seal the pouch and repeat until all of your mixture is gone. Note: This measurement is for the popsicle bags. If you’re using another mold, just make sure to leave a bit for expansion.
3. Freeze your popsicle pouches in the freezer, lying flat. Leave them at least overnight to freeze. 

Recipe Tips

• Alcohol will not freeze solid. These pops are more like a slush. Pro tip: If your alcohol freezes solid, and you have teenagers in the house… be suspicious that it’s been filled with water. ;)
• Be sure and leave about an inch from the top of the pouch or popsicle mold to allow for expansion. 
• I love these disposable popsicle molds, but any popsicle mold or popsicle sticks will work.  
• A kitchen funnel is helpful to get the liquid into the molds. 
• It’s fun to experiment with flavored vodkas to create new flavors!
• You can easily use pink lemonade for these popsicles instead of yellow.
• Adding diced fresh strawberries or raspberry puree is a great twist on this recipe.
• You don’t have to use vodka for these–any clear spirit will work.
• I’ve made this with several types of the Simply juice. I loved the Cherry Limeade!
• If you’ve got lemons but no lemonade, you can easily make some with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and water. I love adding fresh lemon zest too.

Healthy Eating Plans

While vodka popsicles aren’t healthy, this is a better option than store bought alcohol treats. These are about 100 calories each and use just two ingredients. I’ve figured out how to count them on a few popular diet plans:

• Ultimate Portion Fix/21 Day Fix: One pouch counts as a yellow treat swap for the 21 Day Fix. 
• Weight Watchers: Each serving when using Crystal Light Lemonade is 2 Blue Plan Points | 2 Green Plan Points | 2 Purple Plan Points
• The 2023 Points are 3, when using Diet Lemonade.

This recipe is light and bubbly and just as good without the tequila. It’s a perfect low calorie holiday cocktail, but I make these any time of year–not just during the holiday season.

I’m always looking for low calorie tequila drinks, since I don’t care to drink anything super sweet or heavy. Even with a couple of candied cranberries, these margaritas aren’t too sweet–they make the best low calorie Christmas cocktail.

This recipe is considered healthy because it has just a few simple ingredients–sparkling water (you could also use club soda, but I haven’t seen flavored club sodas so I stick with the water), fresh limes, tequila (or vodka!), and cranberry juice.

I didn’t add orange juice, sugar, or other liqueur options because to be honest this recipe doesn’t need them. This is a delicious sugar free, artificial sweetener free cranberry cocktail. Whether you’re looking for a skinny poolside cocktail or a low calorie holiday drink, this recipe is simple and refreshing!

Ingredients

• Sparkling water: Plain sparkling water like Perrier is great, but I really enjoy the extra flavor of flavored sparkling water. Just be sure whatever you choose doesn’t have any sugars or artificial sweeteners.
• Tequila: Be sure and use a good quality tequila. Lower quality tequilas often have extra ingredients that you probably don’t want to be drinking (man, I could write an entire post on that!). Cazadores, Don Julio, and Herradura are great options that you can find in your local grocery store. For this recipe, I prefer silver tequila.
• Cranberry juice: Look for 100% juice. A lot of bottled cranberry juice contains sugar so be sure and read your label. 
• Fresh Lime juice From freshly squeezed limes, of course ;)

Quick Instructions

1. If you’d like to drink this cocktail over ice, add ice, tequila, lime juice, and cranberry juice to your glass. Fill to the top with sparkling water and enjoy!
2. If you’d rather shake this cocktail, add ice to a glass and the following ingredients to a cocktail shaker: tequila, lime juice, and cranberry juice. Shake for 15 seconds, then pour over ice. Top with chilled sparkling water.

Recipe Tips

• For a little added sweetness, rim the glass with lime juice and coat with raw sugar. I don’t often do this, but every once in a while it’s fun to. If you are serving these to someone who prefers sweet, go ahead and add a splash of simple syrup.
• For a festive presentation, add 3 whole cranberries to a toothpick for a garnish. If you want to make sugared cranberries like I did for these pictures you can, but know that this will bump it out of the 100 calorie range.  
• This recipe is great over ice or shaken and poured. 
• Not feeling the alcohol? Skip the tequila and enjoy the delicious mocktail version.
• Not loving the Sparkling Cranberry Margarita? You can use still water instead of sparkling!
• This is a perfect cocktail to serve alongside your Thanksgiving dinner.

Healthy Eating Plans

If you’re on a healthy eating plan, this should fit right into it. As a 21 Day Fix margarita it fits perfectly as a treat swap (any alcohol is a treat swap). As a Weight Watchers margarita, it’s a low point cocktail–just 4 points on all plans.

If this cocktail doesn’t fit into your healthy eating plan, the mocktail version of this recipe might work better for you–simply leave the alcohol out of the recipe and enjoy!

More skinny cocktail recipes

One of my favorite things to do is take naturally flavored sparkling water and make different cocktails with it. I have several made for you to spark your creativity on how you can use the same sparking water to make lower calorie versions of your favorite cocktails–these are all right around 100 calories.

• Ginger Cranberry Mule To make this a lower calorie Moscow Mule, use 1/4 cup ginger beer, tequila or vodka, lime, and then fill the rest of the glass with sparkling water (flavored or unflavored).
• Vodka Popsicles with Lemonade
• White and Red Wine Popsicles
• Strawberry Bubble Tea Margaritas
• 100 Calorie Peach Margarita
• Skinny Watermelon Margarita
• Pineapple Margarita
• Skinny Pina Colada
• Apple Cider Margarita To make this low cal, reduce the apple cider to 1/4 cup and leave out the Schnapps.

Wait–does wine freeze?

It totally does! Wine actually has a lower alcohol content than most hard liquors, and they freeze too! The trick is to get your ratios right, and I’ve done the work for you here. These wine popsicles froze solid overnight (they took about 12 hours to freeze completely) and were delicious the next day! If you were to freeze just a few of these, they’d freeze faster–I made about 24, so that’s why they took a little longer.

What do I need to make wine popsicles?

For the red wine popsicles, you’ll need:

• wine
• honey
• a fresh lime
• sparkling water (I used lime, but you could use any flavor)

For the white wine popsicles, you’ll need:

• wine
• honey
• strawberries
• sparkling water

You’re also going to need something to freeze your popsicles in, whether it’s a popsicle mold, zip bags like I used, or another popsicle maker. Don’t forget the popsicle sticks if you’re using molds!

These boozy popsicles take about 15 minutes to make (but then they’ll need to freeze).

How to make red wine popsicles:

1. Each of the zip bags I used for my popsicles holds one half cup + one ounce of liquid. I made four of these popsicles at a time.
2. Pour wine  and 1/2 cup sparkling water into a bowl.
3. In a small measuring cup or bowl add honey, lime juice, and the rest of the sparkling water. Pour at once into a small saucepan over medium heat to make simple syrup.
4. Add the simple syrup to the wine mixture and stir well.
5. Pour into popsicle molds or bags, leaving room for expansion. If you’d rather the pops not expand as much, use filtered water instead of sparkling water.
6. Freeze 8-10 hours, but preferably overnight.

How to make white wine popsicles:

1. Each of the zip bags I used for my popsicles holds one half cup + one ounce of liquid. I made four of these popsicles at a time.
2. Pour wine and 1/2 cup sparkling water into a bowl.
3. In a small measuring cup or bowl add honey, muddled or crushed strawberries, and the remaining sparkling water. See the recipe notes below for directions about muddling fruit. Pour these ingredients at once into a small saucepan over medium heat to make simple syrup.
4.  Add the simple syrup to the wine mixture and stir well.
5. Pour the mixture into popsicle bags or molds. Make sure to leave room for expansion. You can also use still water in place of the sparkling water–it’ll help the pops to not expand as much when freezing.
6. Freeze a minimum of 8-10 hours, or until frozen.

How do you crush or muddle fruit?

Muddling fruit is simply infusing it into a drink. But this about strawberries, for example, which is what this wine popsicle recipe calls for–would you taste strawberries more when they’re chopped and placed into a popsicle or when they’re crushed and added? Definitely crushed and added. There are a few ways you can muddle fruit.

1. Use a fork and crush the fruit under the fork tines. This is the most difficult way, but it works in a pinch! You can make this a little easier by heating over medium heat in a saucepan to help it break down.

2. Use a citrus squeezer. This works better than the fork, for sure! Place the fruit in small batched into the lime squeezer. Use a bigger bowl to catch the fruit, because it’s a little messy. It’s awesome because it gives you a lot of juice.

3. Use a mortar and pestel. This is what I usually use, as it gets a ton of juice from the fruit and pulverizes it in the process. It gives the best flavor, I think.

You could also use a small food processor or blender to muddle fruit if you have enough to reach the blades. Lots of options here!

These wine popsicles are a delicious grown up summer treat! Be sure to keep them out of reach of young ones, of course, and enjoy!

Special diet information for these wine popsicles

Weight Watchers: Each of these wine popsicles (red or white!) are 3 Blue Plan Points, 3 Purple Plan Points, 3 Green Plan Points

21 Day Fix: Two of these wine popsicles count as one yellow treat swap.

My love for margaritas is no secret, so creating this recipe was pretty exciting for me. A Frozen Strawberry Margarita turned into a slush by freezing. This is a great recipe to make for some poolside fun, your Cinco de Mayo get together, or a summer happy hour. The margarita slush will slowly melt in the hot sun and leave you with a perfect drink!

Is this a healthy margarita?

Actually, it is! Instead of the traditional margarita ingredients like orange liqueur, triple sec, simple syrup, or limeade concentrate we’re using honey, fresh lime juice, and tequila for our margarita slush! The taste isn’t compromised at all–in fact, I think it tastes so much better than the “unhealthy” version.

Perhaps even better than the refreshing flavor is that this is compatible with many healthy eating plans because it contains healthier ingredients than usual. One serving of this frozen strawberry margarita (about 3/4 cups, but the amount will vary depending on the size of your strawberries) is a 21 Day Fix treat swap. For Weight Watchers, this recipe is 6 Blue, Green, or Purple Points per serving.

Ingredients for this frozen margarita recipe:

• Frozen Strawberries
• Honey
• Orange
• Lime and (optional) lime wedges
• Tequila

1) Add tequila, lime juice, orange juice, strawberries, and honey together into a blender and blend until smooth. If you’d rather have chunks of strawberries in your slush, I’d chop some up and stir them in at the end, before you pour the slush into your dish for freezing.

2) Pour the slush mix into a chilled pan and spread evenly. I prefer to use a glass dish for this so the ice cream scoop doesn’t scratch my metal pans, but you’re welcome to use whatever you have on hand!

3) Freeze for 2-3 hours then use an ice cream scoop to serve. The slush will get harder the longer you let it sit. If you let it sit overnight, be sure to allow it soften a bit before serving.

4) Serve in a salt rimmed glass with fresh squeezed lime or lime wedges if you’d like.

If you’d like to make this Frozen Margarita Slush with Tequila into popsicles, I highly encourage that! They’re delicious as popsicles and I have a couple of recommendations for you:

• I’d use zipper popsicle bags instead of traditional popsicle molds because they could drip and cause a mess.
• I’d also use a funnel (click to see the one I use) to pour the slush into the bags–it’s a little bit more difficult to pour the mixture into the pouches because it’s thick.
