Tips for Making the Perfect Strawberry Daiquiri Popsicles

How to freeze the sticks in place. Freeze the mixture until it becomes slushy before inserting the popsicle sticks. This helps them stay upright as the popsicles finish freezing.
How to remove popsicles out of the mold without breaking them. Run hot water over the outside of the mold for a few seconds, then gently pull the popsicle straight out without twisting.
Choose the right popsicle mold. Andrew Chase recommends traditional flat popsicle molds made from durable plastic se in a metal holder with a metal cover to keep sticks securely in place. “There are many types of ice popsicle molds on the market,” Chase writes. “In most things I prefer the uncomplicated and traditional – in this case, nostalgic and familiar round-ended flat ice pop molds.”
