Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Boozy Mai Tai Popsicles.
Step 1
Begin by creating a sweet almond syrup.
Step 2
In a saucepan, mix together 3/4 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of water.
Step 3
Gently heat the mixture over low flame, stirring continuously until the sugar fully dissolves, which should take about two minutes.
Step 4
Once the sugar has vanished into the liquid, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in 2 teaspoons of almond extract for a delightful aroma.
Step 5
Next, in a spacious pitcher, blend 1/2 cup of thawed pineapple orange juice concentrate with 1/2 cup of thawed limeade concentrate.
Step 6
Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water, then add 3 tablespoons each of dark rum and light rum for that perfect kick.
Step 7
Finally, incorporate the almond simple syrup you crafted earlier, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
Step 8
Now, itβs time to assemble your refreshing popsicles.
Step 9
At the bottom of each ice pop mold, place a pineapple tidbit and half a maraschino cherry to add a burst of color and flavor.
Step 10
Carefully pour the rum mixture over the fruit until the molds are filled to the brim.
Step 11
Seal the molds and let them freeze for at least 12 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the popsicles to solidify into a tropical treat.
Step 12
Enjoy the anticipation as you await your deliciously boozy creations!.
