Lime mojito pops are a refreshing and delicious summer treat that capture the zesty flavors of a classic mojito cocktail in a fun, frozen form. Perfect for cooling down on a hot day or impressing guests at a summer gathering, these pops are both easy to make and delightful to enjoy.
Instructions:
- Begin by thoroughly rinsing the lime under cold water.
- Zest the lime using a fine grater, and then juice it. Set the zest aside for later use.
- Slice the remaining zested lime into thin rounds or small wedges.
- In a bowl or a large mixing cup, add 1 tbsp of spearmint leaves.
- Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils without tearing them apart.
- Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and sugar into the bowl with the muddled mint.
- Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour in 1/3 cup of rum and 1 cup of lemonade into the sugar-mint-lime mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Place a few slices or wedges of lime into each popsicle mold for added flavor and aesthetic appeal.
- Carefully pour the mojito mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow the mixture to expand as it freezes.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds.
- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To release the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, being careful not to melt the popsicles.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade lime mojito pops!
Tips:
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum, and increase the lemonade proportionately.
- Experiment with different citrus fruits or herbs to create your own unique twist on this recipe.
- Using silicone molds can make it easier to remove the popsicles without breaking them.
Once your lime mojito pops are frozen solid, they're ready to enjoy! To easily remove them from the molds, you can run the bases under warm water for a few seconds. These Lime Mojito Pops are the perfect blend of tangy lime, sweet sugar, and refreshing mint, making them an ideal treat for any warm-weather occasion. Enjoy responsibly as they contain alcohol and are meant for adult consumption.
