Remember when we only sipped cocktails and didn't eat them in the form of boozy popsicles? How old-fashioned of us. Now, we can scoop alcoholic sorbet, lick vodka-infused ice pops, and eat adult versions of the Otter Pops [1] we had as kids. It's pretty easy to make your own alcoholic popsicles [2], but thankfully, there are companies out there that have done the work for us. Whether your preference is liquor-enhanced ice cream or wine-flavoured popsicles, these brands have you covered. Ahead, find out where to buy a variety of boozy frozen treats, and stock your freezer this Summer.
Claffey's Frozen Cocktails
What they are: Cocktails in popsicle form with 6 percent ABV. These portable frozen drinks come in flavours like Gala Apple, Cherry Lips, and Purple Party.
Where to buy: Find Claffey's Frozen Cocktails online [3] or at Costco [4].
Slim Chillers Skinny Freezers
What they are: 100-calorie vodka ice pops [5] in classic cocktail flavours including Cosmopolitan and Lemon Drop.
Where to buy: Find a pack of Skinny Freezers at Costco, or check out the Slim Chillers store locator [6] for more options.
Buzz Pop Cocktails
What they are: Remember those sorbet push pops from your childhood? Take those and add alcohol, and you have Buzz Pop Cocktails [7]. These delightful treats are made with Italian sorbet and liquor, and they're best consumed poolside. Take your pick from refreshing flavours like Mango Passion Fruit, Pink Paradise Sorbet, and Moscow Mule Sorbet. (Oh, and each has a 15 percent ABV, so lick slowly).
Where to buy: You won't find Buzz Pop Cocktails [8] in retail stores, but they are available online [9] and at a variety of destinations including Disney Springs [10]. The Florida-based company also does events in the Southeast.
POPS Boozy Popsicles
What they are: POPS [11] are yet another Otter Pop-like frozen alcoholic popsicle, and the packageing is so cute. Frosé, Champagne, and Watermelon Martini, anyone?
Where to buy: Sadly, the England-based POPS are only available [12] in the UK and Melbourne [13] at Whole Foods, Tesco, and a few other stores.
POPS Boozy Ice Cream
POPS also makes alcoholic ice cream! It's dairy-free sorbet that's low in alcohol and made in delicious flavours like Gin & Lemon, Espresso Martini, and Classic Amaretto. Like the ice pops, it's only available in the UK [14].
Tipsy Scoop Ice Cream
What it is: Fear not, because there is boozy ice cream available in the US in the form of Tipsy Scoop. It first rose to popularity in 2017 in New York thanks to its spiked takes on classic flavours [15] like mint chocolate chip made with chocolate liqueur and Vanilla Bean Bourbon.
Where to buy: There are scoop shop locations in NYC, Myrtle Beach, and Las Vegas, and Tipsy Scoop also sells pints in some stores across the East Coast. Otherwise, you can buy online thanks to Tipsy Scoop's nationwide shipping [16].
FrutaPOP Alcoholic Poptails
What they are: FrutaPOP [17] offers alcoholic ice pops with no added sugars, syrups, or dyes. The creations are dubbed "poptails" and come in lots of great flavours: Guava Cosmo, Watermelon Lemonade, Sparkling Pear Prosecco, and more.
Where to buy: Most of the flavours and variety packs are available to shop online from FrutaPOP [18].
Pop Fusion Cocktail Popsicles
What they are: Pop Fusion [19] makes gourmet ice pops on a stick that are perfect for wine-lovers — Berry Sangria Wine Pops [20], anyone?
Where to buy: Pop Fusion offers its pops [21] at a variety of hotels, festivals, and some retail stores; they're even available at Epcot in Disney World [22].
