Colorful, sweet‑tart adult popsicles that freeze lemonade, lemon‑lime soda, and vodka around sour gummy worms for a nostalgic, boozy summer treat.
Equipment
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
- Measuring cup
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or whisk
- Small funnel
- Freezer
Ingredients
- 1 cup vodka plain vodka so the candy flavor stands out
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda adds fizz and a touch of sweetness
- 2-3 pieces per mold sour gummy worms 2–3 worms in each mold
- ice cubes optional, to chill the mix before pouring
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine vodka, lemonade, and lemon‑lime soda. Stir gently just to combine (avoid excess foam).
- Place 2–3 sour gummy worms into each popsicle mold.
- Using a measuring cup or small funnel, pour the liquid into the molds, leaving a little headspace for expansion.
- Insert popsicle sticks in the center of each mold. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
- To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the molds, then pull popsicles out slowly. Serve immediately.
Notes
These melt faster than regular popsicles due to alcohol. For a lighter version, use less vodka and more lemonade. You can chill the mixture before filling the molds to keep some fizz from the soda. Swap in other sour gummies if you like, but worms look the most fun peeking through the ice.
