Strawberry Margarita Ice Pops

Djinni's Note:

I saw this recipe on The View in a segment called "Spike It". This is a great idea to bring to outdoor gatherings such as 4th of July. Becareful of the kiddies since this does contain alcohol. Cook time is freeze time. Recipe provided courtesy of Tyler Florence

While I haven't tried the frozen result I did try the mix and it was really tasty! Will be having the pops tonight and can't wait!

What a great summertime treat. I will be making these for my 4th of July party. I'm sure they'll be a big hit with the over twenty one crowd. My husband thinks they're even better after they are a few days old.
