Watermelon Margarita Pops

By MJH

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp tequila
• 2 tbsp cointreau
• 2 1/2 cups watermelon
• Juice of 1 lime (about 2 1/2 tbsp)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• Pinch of sea salt per popsicle

Preparation

Step 1

Using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender, puree watermelon.

If you want it a little chunky, you can also do this with a whisk, smashing and whisking until you get a more liquid consistency.

Add water, liquors, sugar, and lime juice.

Combine well by hand or in your blender, until well-combined.

Pour into popsicle molds or cups and finish by sprinkling sea salt (Maldon works best) over each pop.

Stick 'em in the freezer, and check after about an hour.

The liquids may have separated slightly, so stir with a knife to re-incorporate, then add sticks.

In another hour or two, you should have solid pops.
