Dirty Pirate Popsicles: A Treasure Of Flavors (Print version)

Adults-only Dirty Pirate Popsicles made with flat cola, spiced rum, and coffee liqueur for a chilly cocktail-style treat.

# Ingredients:

For the popsicles

01 - 2 1/2 cups (590 ml) flat cola, chilled
02 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) spiced rum
03 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) coffee liqueur
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, optional

For freezing

05 - 8 popsicle molds, about 3 oz (90 ml) each
06 - 8 wooden popsicle sticks

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the cola into a pitcher and let it stand until most of the bubbles disappear. Stir gently if you need to speed it up.
02 - Add the spiced rum, coffee liqueur, and lime juice to the flat cola. Stir slowly until evenly combined.
03 - Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top for expansion.
04 - Insert the lids and sticks. If your sticks will not stand upright, freeze the molds for 45-60 minutes first, then add the sticks.
05 - Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. To release, run warm water over the outside of each mold for 3-5 seconds and pull gently.

# Good to know:

01 - Adults-only recipe containing alcohol.
02 - Best frozen overnight for a firmer texture.
03 - Use flat cola for smoother pops.
