Watermelon Margarita Popsicles

Makes 6 popsicles



5 cups chopped seedless watermelon
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, from 2 limes
2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
1/4 cup clear tequila

6 (1/2 cup capacity) popsicle molds



Combine all ingredients in a blender; puree until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup, pressing on and then discarding solids. Skim off any foam; pour mixture evenly into molds. Freeze 1 hour. Insert sticks and freeze until firm, about 24 hours.


To make non-alcoholic: Replace 2 Tbsp. orange liqueur with orange juice and 1/4 cup tequila with water.
