Boozy Pudding Pops
You can also make absolutely delicious boozy chocolate bomb pudding pops by layering the boozy chocolate bomb pudding mixture with the toasted almond pudding mixture in your favorite popsicle molds and freezing them overnight.
Simple Syrup
Some of the recipes above call for a simple syrup. While simple syrups can be flavored ahead of time, each of the above listed recipes is calling for plain simple syrup only. This syrup is just equal portions of sugar and water heated to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and isn’t grainy when used in your favorite recipes.
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
Combine the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves complete and the edges of the liquid start to simmer. The syrup should be clear, not cloudy. Immediately remove from heat, cool.
You can store basic simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
Long Island Iced Tea Popsicles
1 (12-oz.) can Coca-Cola
1/4 c. vodka
1/4 c. tequila
1/4 c. gin
1/4 c. light rum
1/4 c. triple sec
2 tbsp. lemon juice
Combine the Coca-Cola, vodka, tequila, gin, rum, triple sec, and lemon juice in a pitcher or large measuring cup. Equally divide the mixture in your favorite popsicle moulds.
Freeze until solid, at least 5 hours, and up to overnight.
