How to Make Tequila Sunrise Ice Pops

  1. In a large measuring cup, combine 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 2 tablespoons honey. Stir well to dissolve the honey.
  2. Divide the cranberry mixture evenly among 8 ice pop molds or paper cups (approximately 4 teaspoons per mold/cup).
  3. Freeze for 1 hour, or until the cranberry layer is firm but not completely hard.
  4. In a separate measuring cup, gently combine 1/2 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup tequila (omit tequila for virgin pops).
  5. Carefully pour the orange juice mixture over the frozen cranberry layer in each mold/cup. Avoid disturbing the bottom layer.
  6. If using paper cups, cover with foil squares and insert wooden craft sticks. For ice pop molds, insert the provided sticks.
  7. Freeze overnight, or until completely solid.
  8. To serve, gently remove pops from molds or tear away the paper cups and foil before serving. Enjoy!
