Print Recipe

These tropical frozen treats combine sweet pineapple, zesty lime, coconut water, and light Caribbean rum for a refreshing summer escape. Easy to make and perfect for parties or hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) fresh pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) coconut water
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) light Caribbean rum (e.g., Bacardi Superior or Mount Gay Eclipse)
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved)
  • 1/2 cup (4 fl oz) orange juice
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the simple syrup by combining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature (about 10 minutes).
  2. Juice the pineapple and limes into a large mixing bowl to yield about 2 1/2 cups combined. Add 1/2 cup orange juice.
  3. Pour in 1 cup coconut water and 1/2 cup light Caribbean rum. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add the cooled simple syrup to the juice mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness with more syrup or lime juice as desired.
  5. Optionally, grate a pinch of nutmeg and add fresh mint leaves. Blend briefly (10-15 seconds) if you want the mint flavor infused evenly.
  6. Pour the mixture carefully into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/2 inch at the top for expansion. Insert sticks.
  7. Freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm.
  8. To unmold, run warm water briefly over the outside of the molds and gently pull on the sticks. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh-squeezed juices for best flavor. Leave 1/2 inch space in molds for expansion. Chill mixture before freezing for smoother texture. Rum lowers freezing point, so popsicles take longer to set. Run warm water over molds to unmold easily. For non-alcoholic version, omit rum and add extra juice or sparkling water.
