Margarita Lollies

by

Salting the cucumber draws out some of the liquid making it crunchy, and although you rinse the salt away it leaves a slight saltiness, as you would get around the rim of the Margarita cocktail.

Makes: 6 x 50ml lolly pops

Prep time: 10 mins plus 4-5 hours freezing time

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 limes
  • 75ml lime juice
  • 35ml Tequila
  • 15ml Cointreau
  • 100ml lemonade
  • 50ml sugar syrup
  • 1 tsp Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce or Frank’s RedHot Chilli n Lime Sauce

What To Do:

  • Cut 6 ribbons along the length of the cucumber using a peeler.  Place in a colander and sprinkle with the salt.  Set aside in the sink to drain.
  • Zest 2 of the limes and juice all 3.  Combine all the remaining ingredients with the lime zest and juice.
  • Rinse the cucumber ribbons and pat dry with kitchen paper.  Loosely wind round a lolly stick and place up right in the mould.  Pour over the margarita mixture and freeze for 4-5 hours until solid.

Tip:

  • For a virgin version omit the tequila and orange flavoured liqueur adding in an extra 50ml lemonade.
