What could be better than a sweet, boozy, icy treat on a hot summer day? We’ve combined our premium tequila with a few of our favorite ingredients to create our new go-to frozen dessert. We’re giving you the power (and the recipes) to make these tequila popsicles in your kitchen.
The sweet treats were created by Country Velador, the chef-owner of Super Chunk Sweets & Treats and New Wave Market in Old Town Scottsdale. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, Country’s also the Executive Pastry Chef at Cowboy Ciao and Kazimierz World Wine Bar. We owe her a solid for developing such a delicious way to beat the heat this summer.
Check out the recipes for all 3 tequila popsicles below.

Coconut Fudgesicle Añejo Pop
(makes about 8 ice pops)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup Real coconut syrup
1/4 cup Azuñia Añejo tequila
In a large pot, stir together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and cocoa powder until well blended. Slowly stir in the milk, as to not create lumps. Add the coconut syrup. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the mixture comes to a simmer and slightly thickens. Pour into another container and stir in the Añejo. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the mixture so it doesn’t form a skin. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
