Watermelon Margarita Pops Food

These spiked watermelon ice pops will keep you cool all summer long; just throw everything in a blender, pour into molds and freeze. With just the right amount of smoky mezcal and a hint of lime juice, they are as refreshing as they are fun to eat. Feel free to use orange juice instead of mezcal for a non-alcoholic version.

Mixing cocktails may seem intimidating, but it's actually quite intuitive once you understand how to balance the alcohol, sweetness and acidity. In "3-Ingredient Cocktails" (Ten Speed Press, 2017), Robert Simonson presents the formula for a perfect margarita: 1½ ounces tequila, 1 ounce Cointreau and 3/4 ounce lime juice, shaken and served. Even easier to memorize, this version uses 6 ounces fresh watermelon juice - a sweet but subtle nod to summer - and 2 ounces each tequila, Cointreau and lime juice. Be sure to taste and add more watermelon juice if your margarita is too boozy, and extra lime juice or even a pinch of salt if it's too sweet.
