🍑 Why We Love This Recipe

  • Cocktail and a dessert/snack: These prosecco popsicles perform double duty as both a dessert and a cocktail. We love serving these at the end of a summer dinner as a palate cleanser. Since they contain both tequila and prosecco, they're stronger than you might think (although they don't taste like it!), so don't go overboard!
  • Blend, pour, and freeze: This recipe is super easy with minimal cleanup. Just blend, pour, and freeze, and you're good to go.
  • Frozen or fresh: you can use frozen or fresh peaches/watermelon in these prosecco popsicles. Frozen is easier, but if you have a bunch of leftover fresh watermelon or bruised peaches, this is the perfect way to use them up!

🍉 Ingredients

Here's everything you'll need to make these peach watermelon prosecco popsicles:

📋 Ingredient Notes

  • Prosecco: We used prosecco in this recipe, but any sparkling wine will do the job, including cava, sparkling rosé and champagne.
  • Watermelon: We would highly recommend using seedless watermelon, as they will create a smoother texture than their seeded counterparts.
  • Peaches: We recommend using frozen peaches simply because they're already pitted and chopped for you. You could opt for fresh peaches, but it will be a bit more work. If using fresh, you can decide whether or not to peel.
  • Agave syrup: You can replace with simple syrup, honey, or even maple syrup. Just be aware the taste will be different.
  • Tequila: silver tequila (tequila blanco) is best in these prosecco popsicles for its relatively neutral taste. You could also use vodka or white rum.

🔪 Step-by-step Instructions

Here's how to make these watermelon prosecco popsicles in a few simple steps:

(1) Add 4 cups watermelon, 4 cups peaches, ½ cup agave syrup, 3 oz lime juice, 3 oz tequila and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend until everything is smooth and well mixed.

(2) Slowly pour in the Prosecco. Stir well to combine. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to let the bubbles die down.

(3) Stir again, then pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 8-10 hours or overnight. If you want to make fewer popsicles, feel free to enjoy any leftover liquid as a cocktail or simply cut the recipe in half.

(4) When ready to serve, remove popsicles from freezer and let sit for 10 minutes so that they are easier to remove from molds. Due to the alcohol content, these will not freeze as solidly as other popsicles so enjoy them immediately.

💭 Expert Tips and FAQs

  • Stainless steel molds: We find that these prosecco popsicles release from stainless steel molds much easier than they release from plastic molds. For that reason, we always recommend using stainless steel molds when making popsicles. Stainless steel also seems to work a bit better when you're freezing popsicles that contain alcohol.
  • Let the fizz settle: After pouring the prosecco into the blended mixture, make sure to let the carbonation settle for 15-20 minutes. If you skip this step, it may be challenging to accurately portion and pour the mixture into the molds.
  • Freezing: Since there's alcohol in these pops, they will take longer to freeze and won't freeze quite as solidly as normal pops. We recommend freezing overnight in the coldest part of your freezer, which is all the way back on the middle shelf.
  • Storage: The best way to store these is to remove them from their molds, and then stack them in an airtight container, with sheets of parchment paper in between each popsicle to prevent them from sticking together.
What's the best way to get popsicles out of molds if they're stuck?

You can try two things if your prosecco popsicles are stuck in their molds. First, take them out of the fridge and let them sit on the counter for about 10 minutes. The very outside of the popsicles should melt slightly, making them easier to remove. If this doesn't work, try running the popsicle molds under lukewarm water for just a second or two before removing.

Description

We took watermelon and peach--two of our favorite summer flavors--and combined them with prosecco and tequila to create these easy, refreshing, and delicious popsicles. Is it a dessert? Is it a cocktail? It's both!


Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen watermelon, cubed into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 cups frozen or fresh peaches
  • ½ cup agave syrup
  • 3 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 8 oz prosecco or other sparkling wine
  • 3 oz silver tequila
  • Pinch of sea salt


Instructions

  1. Add 4 cups watermelon, 4 cups peaches, ½ cup agave syrup, 3 oz lime juice, 3 oz tequila and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend until everything is smooth and well mixed.
  2. Slowly pour in the Prosecco. Stir well to combine. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to let the bubbles die down.  
  3. Stir again, then pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 8-10 hours or overnight. If you want to make fewer popsicles, feel free to enjoy any leftover liquid as a cocktail or simply cut the recipe in half.
  4. When ready to serve, remove popsicles from freezer and let sit for 10 minutes so that they are easier to remove from molds. Due to the alcohol content, these will not freeze as solidly as other popsicles so enjoy them immediately. 
  5. They will store in an airtight container for a few weeks. To keep them from sticking, add a layer of parchment paper between each popsicle. 

Notes

Popsicle molds: We have found that stainless steel popsicle molds work much better than plastic ones, especially with recipes involving alcohol.

Storage: The best way to store these is to remove them from their molds, then stack them in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper in between each popsicle.

Make sure to let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes after pouring the prosecco into the mixture. This will make your life much easier when it comes time to pour into the molds.

Prosecco: We used prosecco in this recipe, but any sparkling wine will do the job, including cava, sparkling rosé and champagne.
