Frozen Margarita Popsicles Tips

• You can replace the watermelon with other fruit, such as mango, papaya or pineapple. Strawberry margarita popsicles are a personal fave.
• For extra fun, add a sprinkle of extra salt on the top of the popsicle just like the salt rim of the drink.
• Make these a fun poptail, by serving these in an actual Margarita.
• Because of the alcohol, you will need to freeze these for at least 5-6 hours for them to harden. Freeze them overnight if you can.
•  Try layering and freezing different fruit purées in stages to create stunning multi-colour popsicles.
• When blending your ingredients together start with a slower setting and then increase speed.
• Cutting the watermelon into smaller cubes will result in getting a smoother purée faster.
• Swap out the tequila for some rum to make a batch of delicious daiquiri popsicles.
