Recipe Tips
- Make sure your rum and Kahlua are well-chilled before mixing; this helps the popsicles set faster.
- Freeze for at least 8 hours (or overnight) to get a firm, easy-to-remove popsicle.
- Want to get creative? Swap cola for cream soda or add a splash of cold brew for a coffee twist!
Rum and Coke Popsicles FAQs
You can, a little! Here are some of the other ways I’ve made these popsicles:
– Use coconut rum instead of spiced rum
– Add a splash of pineapple juice
– Add a scoop of ice cream in the mix and blend
It does! These ice pops will be a little slushy, but they’ll be frozen and delicious. Alcohol doesn’t freeze solid like water, so don’t expect these to be frozen solid.
If you’re struggling to freeze your popsicles, you may have used too much alcohol. You can’t use more alcoholic ingredients than non-alcoholic so if you’re struggling with freezing, go back to the drawing board.
They’ll keep for up to two months in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
A dark or spiced rum gives these popsicles that rich, caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with Kahlua and cola.
You can, but keep in mind that diet soda can freeze differently and may not yield the same smooth texture. Flat, regular cola works best for even freezing.

Rum, like everything else on the planet, DOES freeze. Its freezing point is said to be -27°C (-17°F). My freezer doesn’t get that cold, but combined with the Coke, that helps it freeze. But once exposed to room temperature, I find it melts fast. I eat it over the sink. If you really want to be stingy, eat it over a cup to collect the drips (but I find there aren’t very many.)
can I use diet coke? it’s all I have
Absolutely :)
