Blackberry-Pineapple Vodka Popsicles
I am having so much fun experimenting with cocktail popsicles. Last week it was Sangria Winesicles, and these week we’re sharing Fruity Vodka Popsicles!
Fruity Vodka Popsicles Recipe
What’s better than a creamy, fruity vodka cocktail on a hot summer day?
When that cocktail comes in the shape of a popsicle!
Such a fun option for summer BBQs, girls’ nights or bachelorette parties, boozy popsicles are a fun way to get your buzz on and cool off. These fruity vodka popsicles taste like a creamy pina colada that has been spiked with berries – a fun and frozen tropical cocktail.
One of these popsicles is the equivalent to two mixed drinks, so enjoy responsibly and ensure that you keep them out of reach of children.
I often order my liquor from Drizly because they have a quick delivery time (sometimes within 40 minutes) and no expensive mark-ups. Purchasing from them supports local retailers, too. You can order the Red, White and Berry Vodka needed for this recipe from them.

How to Make Fruity Vodka Popsicles
Prepare the blackberries:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the blackberries, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally and gently mashing half of the berries using a wooden spoon, until the berries are soft and the liquid has reduced to a syrup, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the vodka and immediately remove from the heat. Allow to cool completely.
Prepare the ice pop purée:
In a high-powered blender, purée all the ingredients on high until smooth, around 3 minutes. For an extra smooth purée, strain through a sieve to remove any small bits of pineapple and cilantro that didn’t blend completely.
Assemble the ice pops:
Spoon 2 tablespoons of ice pop purée into the bottom of each ice pop mold. Layer with 2 tablespoons of the blackberries. Repeat with 1 more layer of each. Insert a popsicle stick and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
To serve:
One at a time, dip a frozen ice pop mold into a bowl of warm water for 10 to 15 seconds. Gently pull the ice pop to release from the mold and serve.
