There's nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than a fruity margarita--except maybe Layered Margarita Popsicles! These even-more-refreshing alcoholic popsicles are the perfect way to enjoy the summer sun. My homemade ice pops combine three flavors: strawberry, peach, and lime. They're perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Notes

An ice pop mold is the easiest and least expensive way to make popsicles. Molds typically make between six and eight three-ounce ice pops. Some include the sticks, which is very convenient.
Give yourself extra time if you want to create layered ice pops. For a well-defined line between flavors, each layer needs to set completely before adding the next layer. If you want softer lines, add the second layer when the first is only partially frozen. Keep the ingredients chilled in between layers for a faster freeze.
Submerge the mold halfway in lukewarm water for about 30 seconds to release the frozen pops.
Stick to one teaspoon of tequila per popsicle layer. If you use more than a teaspoon of booze per pop, they simply won't freeze. The stick will slide right out and you'll have to dig all that good stuff out with a spoon.
