Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) pitted frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup (120ml) bourbon
- 1/4 cup (60ml) simple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) cherry liqueur (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup simple syrup, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well blended.
- Add 2 cups frozen cherries to a blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to break them up slightly but keep some texture.
- Pour the syrup mixture into the cherries, then add 1/2 cup bourbon and 1 tablespoon cherry liqueur if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Spoon or pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a small gap at the top. Tap molds gently to release air bubbles.
- Insert sticks, cover molds with lids or foil, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To unmold, run warm water briefly on the outside of the molds to loosen the popsicles and slide them out.
Notes
Do not add more than 1/3 of total liquid as alcohol to ensure popsicles freeze properly. For softer popsicles, add a splash of club soda or more bourbon. Let mixture chill in fridge 15-20 minutes before freezing for better flavor melding. If no molds, use small paper cups and wooden sticks.
