BOOZY MARGARITA POPSICLE RECIPE
Warm the water a bit to help dissolve the sugar. It shouldn't be hot, about 30 seconds in the microwave or briefly on the stove is sufficient. We will often make them with a touch more tequila, but they won't freeze as solid. If you are using a mold which easily release the pops feel free to use about 1/3 cup of tequila instead of the 1/4 cup.Makes ten 2.5 ounce Pops

- Pour and divide the margarita mixture between 10 ice pop molds. (optional) Add a thin slice of lime into each pop mold.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Steps:
- In a pitcher or large cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, water, tequila, and orange juice. It is important to combine the ingredients in a container that has a spout because it will make it much easier to pour the mix into cups.
- Line out the Dixie cups on a baking sheet, so it will be easy to transport them to the freezer. Fill each Dixie cup 90% of the way with the tequila mixture.
- Slice the limes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Push a craft spoon through the center of each lime round, so that half of the stick pokes out from each side. Top the mixture with the lime sticks. Make sure the lime is resting directly on top of the tequila mixture.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. When ready to remove the popsicles from the Dixie cups, simply snip a small cut in the rim of each cup and peel them away from the popsicle. Place the popsicles onto a dish with crushed ice to keep them from melting too quickly, Sprinkle the tops generously with kosher salt, and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tequila. The quality of the tequila you use will greatly affect the taste of your popsicles. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice will give your popsicles a bright, citrusy flavor. Bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not taste as good.
- Add a little sugar or honey to taste. This will help to balance out the tartness of the lime juice and tequila.
- Use a blender or food processor to blend the ingredients until smooth. This will help to prevent the popsicles from becoming icy.
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Enjoy your refreshing margarita popsicles!
