THIS. Cocktail Ice Pops? (aka Poptails) – Ours is a juvenile indulgence that's 100% adult. The perfect throwback to childhood summers married with the weekend tradition where it’s acceptable to order a drink at 10am! We guarantee this umami-infused frozen bloody mary will be your new summer tradition to remember.
YIELD 8 "adult" ice pops
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ lbs roma tomatoes or 2 1/4 cups tomato juice
1 celery stalk
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Taste #5 Bomba! XXX tomato paste
1 teaspoon horseradish, fresh grated or jarred prepared
1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon of chili powder
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Pinch of salt
½ cup vodka
METHOD
- Blend all ingredients except for the vodka in a blender until smooth.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup, pressing on and then discarding solids.
Add vodka and give a good stir. - Pour into popsicle molds. Freeze 30 minutes. Insert sticks, then freeze until firm, overnight or about 24 hours
NOTE: You will especially want to use Taste #5 Bomba! XXX tomato paste if you're using fresh tomatoes instead of tomato juice. Bomba's triple concentrated paste will give you that V8 deep tomato-vegetable depth of flavor.
