# What You’ll Need:
→ Liquid Base
01 -
1 cup dill pickle juice
02 -
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 to 5 limes)
03 -
2/3 cup silver tequila
04 -
1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur

1/3 cup simple syrup, adjusted to taste

# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, thoroughly blend pickle juice, lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup until well integrated.
02 -
Taste the mixture and incorporate additional simple syrup if a sweeter profile is desired.
03 -
If desired, position a lime wheel or dill pickle slice into each popsicle mold cavity.
04 -
Evenly pour the liquid mixture into popsicle molds, allowing a small gap at the top to accommodate expansion during freezing.
05 -
Place sticks into the molds and freeze for at least 6 hours or until the mixture is completely solid.

To serve, briefly run the molds under warm water to assist in releasing the popsicles. Optionally, dip the tips of popsicles into coarse sea salt before serving for an authentic margarita touch.

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute tequila and triple sec with additional pickle juice and limeade.
02 -
Swap dill pickle juice with bread-and-butter pickle juice for a subtle sweetness.
