preview for These Boozy Rainbow Candy Pops Are The Best Way To Celebrate Summer

Frozen cocktails are always winners during the hot summer months, but frozen cocktail pops? A party game-changer. We use only 3 ingredients to create these boozy pops: lemon-lime soda, vodka, and everyone's favorite kind of sour candy: sour belts. The best part? They're so easy to make; the hardest part is waiting for them to set and freeze. Ready to take your pool party up a notch? Make these rainbow pops, and watch them disappear.

When it comes to making these, you've got options. You can use an ice pop mold or Dixie cups, it's completely up to you. If you'd prefer a taller pop with candy throughout, then use a mold, but if you'd prefer a shorter pop with the candy wrapped around the outside, use the Dixie cups, like we do in our banana pudding pops. They both will deliver the same delicious result, so try one this time, then mix it up the next!

Ingredients

2 cups
lemon-lime soda
1/4 cup
vodka
16
Airheads Xtreme Sour Belts

Directions

1. Step 1In a large glass measuring cup, combine lemon-lime soda and vodka.
2. Step 2You can do this in two ways: cutting the candy into pieces and arranging in an ice-pop mold, or wrapping 2 whole candies around the inside of Dixie cups. Fill molds or cups with soda mixture.
3. Step 3If you're using an ice-pop mold, cover and insert sticks. If you're using cups, cover each with a piece of foil and cut a small slit in the middle of foil. Insert sticks into slits.
4. Step 4Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.
5. Step 5Dip molds briefly into hot water to release pops, or cut open cups and peel away from pops.
