Delicious Sangria Popsicles: Guest Post by Martie Duncan

Popsicles in cups

Use plastics to freeze your favorite cocktail into a frosty bite.

Popsicle cups

Use plastic molds or cups to make your own popsicles. For easy removal dip them in warm water or rub between your palms for a couple of seconds and they should release.

Popsicle containers

These fun, plastic tray molds keep melting popsicles from making a mess and allow you to sip the popsicle as it melts.

Sangria Popsicles Recipe

Makes 12—24 popsicles depending on the size of the cup or mold

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle white wine (you can use what you like—even Rose is good)
  • 3 cups white grape juice
  • 2 cups fresh fruit of any combination (I used strawberries, cherries, and green grapes)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice
  • Small plastic cups or popsicle molds
  • Popsicle sticks

Directions

Slice the fruit into small chunks or slices. Put in the bottom of a pitcher and add the sugar and orange juice. Stir well so that the sugar dissolves. Pour over the wine and the grape juice. Stir well. Pour into small plastic cups arranged on a sheet pan or cake pan that will fit into your freezer. Let them become semi-frozen for an hour or so and then add the popsicle sticks. Let them freeze for at least 4 hours—more if you have a large mold or larger cup.

Serve on ice or in chilled wine glasses… you can even pour chilled white wine over them… easy and delicious!
