What’s better than a popsicle on a hot summer day? Now that we’re adults, Vodka Popsicles with Lemonade are the most refreshing thing on the block!
It doesn’t have to be summer to enjoy these alcoholic popsicles. I keep them in the freezer for an impromptu night by the fire pit or a fun cocktail hour treat.

Ingredients in Vodka Popsicles with Lemonade
- Vodka: Very much a personal preference. I prefer Ketel One and Tito’s, but everyone has their favorite.
- Lemonade: You can use any lemonade you prefer. I like Simply Lemonade that you can find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, but these vodka popsicles work with whatever your favorite lemonade is.
How to make vodka popsicles with lemonade
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare, but needs to stored in the freezer for up to 12 hours before eating.
- Mix vodka and lemonade in a large bowl or pitcher.
- Using a kitchen funnel, pour just over ½ cup of vodka and lemonade mixture into a pouch, leaving about an inch from the top. Seal the pouch and repeat until all of your mixture is gone. Note: This measurement is for the popsicle bags. If you’re using another mold, just make sure to leave a bit for expansion.
- Freeze your popsicle pouches in the freezer, lying flat. Leave them at least overnight to freeze.
Recipe Tips
- Alcohol will not freeze solid. These pops are more like a slush. Pro tip: If your alcohol freezes solid, and you have teenagers in the house… be suspicious that it’s been filled with water. ;)
- Be sure and leave about an inch from the top of the pouch or popsicle mold to allow for expansion.
- I love these disposable popsicle molds, but any popsicle mold or popsicle sticks will work.
- A kitchen funnel is helpful to get the liquid into the molds.
- It’s fun to experiment with flavored vodkas to create new flavors!
- You can easily use pink lemonade for these popsicles instead of yellow.
- Adding diced fresh strawberries or raspberry puree is a great twist on this recipe.
- You don’t have to use vodka for these–any clear spirit will work.
- I’ve made this with several types of the Simply juice. I loved the Cherry Limeade!
- If you’ve got lemons but no lemonade, you can easily make some with fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and water. I love adding fresh lemon zest too.
Healthy Eating Plans
While vodka popsicles aren’t healthy, this is a better option than store bought alcohol treats. These are about 100 calories each and use just two ingredients. I’ve figured out how to count them on a few popular diet plans:
- Ultimate Portion Fix/21 Day Fix: One pouch counts as a yellow treat swap for the 21 Day Fix.
- Weight Watchers: Each serving when using Crystal Light Lemonade is 2 Blue Plan Points | 2 Green Plan Points | 2 Purple Plan Points
- The 2023 Points are 3, when using Diet Lemonade.
