Tips for Perfect Boozy Pops
Balance the booze: If you add too much alcohol, your pops won't freeze completely. Aim for no more than ⅓ alcohol in your mix.
Make it a mocktail: Sub vodka for sparkling water or a splash of apple juice for a non-alcoholic version.
Hosting tip: Make a big batch and store in the freezer up to 2 weeks ahead for brunches or parties.
