THE TEST
Guinea Pig Kelli, always eager
Her popsicles turned out just like the picture, and she enjoyed them! If you're tempted to say that it was just the "alcohol talking," you'll be disappointed to hear that there's only 1/4 cup of tequila in the entire batch (12 popsicles). Furthermore, these were fairly soft popsicles. Adding much more tequila would likely make them even softer. Kelli thinks there may be some wiggle room, though, and suggests you may want to try adjusting the water to 3/4 cup and upping the tequila to 1/2 cup.
As a FYI, these are a little on the sweet side. Upping the tequila may help that, but again, we don't know what it'll do to the freezing consistency.
Kelli says she'll be making them again, and wouldn't hesitate to serve them at a BBQ.
CONCLUSION
A fun party food! But if you want to make it a PAR-TAY!!!!, try adding a little more tequila.
