Ingredients
What you'll need to make these Fireball whisky and cream soda popsicles:
- 4 cups of cream soda (I used the A&W brand)
- ⅔ cup of Fireball whisky
- 10 FROZIP (8×2-inch) disposable popsicle plastic bags
- Freezer-safe tray and a small food-safe funnel (like the one that comes with the FROZIP popsicle bags)
Pro Tip
If you choose a different brand of disposable popsicle bags, the number of popsicles you get from this recipe may vary, as not all brands are the same.
I prefer the Frozip brand because it includes a food-safe funnel, making it easy to fill the bags with liquids. Plus, you'll get enough bags to make popsicles for adults or kids all summer long.
Substitutions and Additions
Personalize your Fireball Whisky Popsicles with these fun ingredient swaps and additions! Customize the flavor to suit your taste.
- Swap Fireball Whisky: Use spiced rum for a different twist on the boozy popsicles.
- Cream Soda: Any brand of cream soda works great for these alcoholic popsicles, so choose one you enjoy drinking. If you don't want to buy a 2-liter bottle, you can use two (16.9-ounce) bottles instead. You'll have a little extra liquid, but you can always partially fill one popsicle bag. This won't affect the final result.
- Soda Alternatives: I experimented with root beer, Dr Pepper cream soda, and added 2 (1½-ounce) shots of RumChata. These options were tasty, but the plain cream soda version remained my favorite.
How to Make
With a sweet and spicy kick, these Fireball whiskey and cream soda popsicles are the ultimate summer treat for any whisky lover.
FIRST STEP: In a large bowl with a pour spout, combine the cream soda and Fireball whisky. Stir gently to help settle the bubbles from the soda carbonation.
Pro Tip
To minimize bubbles, avoid stirring the soda too vigorously.
SECOND STEP: Insert the plastic funnel into the open end of one popsicle bag and slowly pour the cream soda and Fireball whisky combination up to the fill line of the popsicle bag.
Pro Tip
The easiest way to pour the liquid into the freezer bags is to place the bag in a tall cup. This will free up both hands for holding the funnel and pouring.
THIRD STEP: Seal the bag and lay it flat on the freezer-safe tray.
FOURTH STEP: Repeat with the remaining Fireball cinnamon roll liquid, filling all the popsicle bags.
FIFTH STEP: Freeze for a minimum of 8 hours, but an overnight freeze is best.
How To Serve
These Fireball Cream Soda Popsicles are perfect for summer gatherings, BBQs, and adult parties. They are an adult-only treat that adds a fun twist to any occasion.
- Summer BBQs: Serve these popsicles at your next BBQ for a refreshing adult treat. They pair perfectly with grilled burgers and corn on the cob.
- Adult Parties: These boozy popsicles are a hit at adult parties. Complement them with cocktails like our Blue Ocean Drink, Malibu Cocktail, or easy to make Margarita Popsicles for a festive vibe.
- Poolside Lounging: Enjoy these popsicles while lounging by the pool. They go great with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches and million dollar dip.
