Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
- 2 cups Coca-Cola (flat)
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- Popsicle molds
- Wooden popsicle sticks
How to Make This Rum And Coke Popsicles :
- Prepare the Coke:
- Open a bottle of Coca-Cola and let it sit open overnight to remove any carbonation. This step is crucial to prevent the popsicles from becoming too icy and to ensure they freeze properly.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a pitcher, combine the flat Coca-Cola, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and Kahlua. Stir well to ensure that everything is fully mixed.
- Assemble the Popsicles:
- Pour the mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion as they freeze.
- Insert wooden sticks into each mold. Make sure they’re straight and centered.
- Freeze:
- Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for several hours or overnight. The alcohol will prevent them from freezing solid, but they should be firm enough to hold their shape.
- Unmold and Serve:
- To release the popsicles from the molds, run hot water on the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull the sticks to remove the popsicles.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your frozen cocktail!
Variations:
- Different Spirits: Experiment with other types of rum or even bourbon for a different flavor profile.
- Add a Twist: Mix in a splash of cherry juice or limeade for an extra layer of flavor.
- Creamy Version: Add a little cream or half-and-half to create a creamier, softer popsicle.
Equipment:
- Popsicle molds
- Pitcher
- Wooden popsicle sticks
- Freezer
Tips:
- Ensure your Coke is flat before mixing to avoid foamy popsicles that may not freeze well.
- Alcohol doesn’t freeze as hard as other liquids, so keep in mind that these popsicles will be slightly softer than non-alcoholic versions.
- If the popsicles are difficult to remove, run warm water a bit longer on the molds.
FAQ:
Can I make these popsicles non-alcoholic?
Absolutely! Just replace the rum and Kahlua with additional Coca-Cola or a mix of cola and a non-alcoholic flavoring like vanilla or cherry.
How long will these popsicles keep in the freezer?
These popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to a month. Keep them in the mold or wrap them individually in plastic wrap to protect against freezer burn.
