How adorable are these spiked watermelon tequila popsicles?! We used the other side of this pineapple popsicle mold and created the most delicious and refreshing watermelon tequila popsicles that are perfect for summer entertaining.

The watermelon rind is pureed kiwi and the popsicle base is watermelon, cucumber, lemon, agave, and tequila.

Guests will love how charming these pops are and no one will even question that there is a little bite taken out of one side. Also, check out these pineapple coconut rum popsicles too!

How to Make Watermelon Popsicles

Ingredients

  • Watermelon juice
  • Cucumbers peeled
  • Lemon
  • Tequila
  • Agave syrup
  • Kiwis

Directions

  • Blend the peeled kiwis in a blender until smooth.
  • Carefully scoop the kiwi puree into the bottom of the mold and fill it to make the watermelon rind.
  • Let it sit in the freezer for 45 minutes before pouring the watermelon blend over the top.
  • Blend the cucumbers, lemon juice, tequila, and agave together in a blender until smooth.
  • Taste test the mixture before to see if you want to add more agave or lemon juice.
  • Pour over molds and frozen kiwi rind and let it freeze overnight.

Here is another option for watermelon popsicle molds.

How Do You Pick a Watermelon?

Whether you’re picking it off of the vine or off of a shelf at the grocery store, you’ll want to follow these tips.

First, pick up a watermelon that is uniform and feels heavy for its size. You want to avoid ones that have any blemishes like bumps or dents.

Turn it in your hands so that you can see the “field spot“. This is the discolored part of the melon where it sat in the field. It starts off white and becomes yellowish when it’s ripe and at its full sweetness.

Another tip is to look at the stem if there is one. A dry stem indicates that it’s ripe, while a green stem indicates that it wasn’t ready yet.

What is the Sweetest Kind of Watermelon?

Although “sweetness” can be subjective, fruits are often rated on a Brix Scale. Here’s how the ratings go:

  • 7.8-8.2: Somewhat sweet
  • 8.3-9.0: Sweet
  • Above 9.0: Very sweet

This is useful if you’re choosing watermelon varieties to grow. The seed company should provide this information.

If you’re simply wanting to buy the best melons, choose from the following types:

  • Bradford
  • Crimson Sweet
  • Diana
  • Jubilee
  • Yellow Doll

For the record, the sweetness of a melon doesn’t depend on its size, color, or shape.

What Flavors Go Well With Watermelon?

Safe flavor combinations include using other fruits on a tray or in a salad such as berries and other melons.

You can add avocado, red onion, and jalapeno to create complex flavor profiles. You may also want to use seasoning for watermelon dishes like chili pepper, salt, and mint.

If you want it by itself, you can simply add seasoning or make a DIY fruit soda with it. 

Is Watermelon Full of Sugar?

Watermelon isn’t necessarily full of sugar. 92% of it is made up of water alone. 

Still, there is a good chunk of sugar in the remaining 8%. A cup of watermelon has around 10 grams of sugar, depending on the variety. Keep in mind that this is natural sugar, not processed junk.

Plus, watermelon is naturally fat-free, very low in sodium, and only has about 40 calories per cup.

    So cute. Amazing that you were able to use the same pineapple mold for an entirely different fruit. Clever.
