Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 pops
Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato juice
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp celery salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of tomato juice, 1/4 cup of vodka, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato juice and vodka. Stir gently to mix the two liquids together.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl. Use a whisk or a spoon to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Once the mixture is well combined, taste it and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more hot sauce for extra spice or more lemon juice for acidity, depending on your preference.
- Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, filling each mold to the top. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- If desired, you can add garnishes such as small pieces of celery, olives, or cherry tomatoes into the molds before pouring in the mixture for added flavor and decoration.
- Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they are centered and upright. If your molds don’t have a built-in stick holder, you can freeze the pops for about 1-2 hours until slightly firm, then insert the sticks.
- Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- Once the ice pops are fully frozen, remove them from the freezer. To release the pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, being careful not to let water touch the pops themselves.
- Carefully pull the ice pops out of the molds and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Bloody Mary Ice Pops as a unique cocktail treat!
Tips
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to adjust the spice levels to suit your taste. If you love heat, add more hot sauce or even some diced jalapeños for an extra kick!
- Garnish for Extra Flair: Enhance the visual appeal and flavor by adding small pieces of celery, olives, or cherry tomatoes into the molds before pouring in the mixture.
- Perfect Popsicle Sticks: If your molds don't hold the sticks in place, freeze the mixture for about 1-2 hours until it's slightly firm, then insert the sticks to keep them upright.
- Quick Release Method: To easily remove the pops from the molds, run warm water over the outside for a few seconds. This helps loosen them without risking water getting on the pops themselves.
- Make Ahead: These ice pops can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for up to a week, making them a great option for parties or gatherings!
