In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to post something traditional and authentic AND tasty. Afterall I absolutely love mexican food. But then I remembered that I like my mexican food exclusively from “hole in the wall” mexican restaurants alongside an enormous frozen margarita…or two…or a pitcher. 🙂So….in celebration of one of my favorite holidays, Cinco de Mayo, I’m posting this little treat, Corona Popsicles! The amount of work it takes? Well, slim to none.
Here’s what you’ll need
Use a bottle opener to open a Corona. This is Cliff’s new toy.
Pour in a popsicle mold.
We decided to add a lime wedge too, because what’s a Corona without a lime?
This one we just squeezed in some lime juice. Trying to mix it up a bit.
These are solidified and ready to serve. Now we must learn to do vodka popsicles.
- 12 oz Corona
- 1 lime, for garnish
- Open a bottle and pour it into a popsicle mold, like the one shown.
- Add a lime slice, if you’d like.
- Freeze for 2-4 hours or until it becomes solid.
These are so fun, especially for super hot days! I gotta question though… do they still taste as good as when you drink it from the bottle? Hopefully they give you the same feeling too 😉
Haha, I’m not gonna lie I prefer it from the bottle myself, but on a hot summer day this is an ideal treat. They pretty much taste exactly the same minus it being frozen and all. It’s nothing like your traditional sugary popsicles, it took me a second to get used to it but I’m pretty sure these will be a regular item in our freezer for now on!
Your blog is looking so cool
This is too cool I have to try this with Guinness and maybe blackcurrant for St. Patrick’s day. I know March is probably too cold in this hemisphere but we can have the Australian Irish start a new tradition.
Sounds good! Let us know if Guinness and blackcurrant makes a good popsicle and we’ll try it out too.
If we ever see the sun again I’m going to try your Corona Popsicles. I especially like your bottle opener. I have one just like it (different picture) and love it. You must have got that on your DC trip. Debbie
Hi Deb! Yep we got that bottle opener from Kyle! Cliff loves it. Last night we had the idea to make Bluemoon popsicles! Ha! See you soon!
I’ve already coined the phrase Blue Moonsicles and we are going to corner the market on them! I have also made the executive decision that these will be made this weekend and post real soon!
i think i’ll make these and sprinkle some salt on right before eating 😀
haha, sounds like a great idea mollie, hope you enjoy them I know I have been!
Hmmmm…. interesting. Might give it a go with Summer Shandy since that has a mild lemon flavor…. seems like it was meant to be frozen!
