These Miami Vice Boozy Popsicles are a refreshing combination of Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada. So perfect for a hot summer day!
Holy Moly! I’m melting!
The last few days here at the beach have been just plain sweltering. If you’re not in the water, it’s just too stifling to even be outside.
Time to break out the popsicle mold my friends!
And the booze!
These Miami Vice Boozy Popsicles are just the ticket to the PERFECT summer cool down.
First off, have you ever heard of the Miami Vice Cocktail?
Apparently, I’ve been living under a rock because I’d never heard of it. If you’ve been living under the same rock, it’s a cocktail that’s part Strawberry Daiquiri and part Piña Colada that’s served separated in a glass.
Talk about a refreshing, tropical cocktail. So I thought, why not turn it into a delicious frozen treat?
Two kinds of rum, fresh strawberries and pineapple with a hint of lime and coconut all jammed into one popsicle.
It’s summer popsicle perfection folks! Enjoy!
A few other favorite popsicles here at the BHK are my Balsamic Strawberry with Basil Popsicles and my Blueberry Vanilla Swirl Popsicles. If you missed them, you should definitely take a peek!
A Few Cook’s Notes for Miami Vice Boozy Popsicles Recipe:
I used this popsicle mold for these popsicles.
To get the diagonal line, I propped a book under one side of the mold before adding the strawberry mixture, then placed the mold in the freezer to firm up before adding the piña colada mixture.
These Miami Vice Boozy Popsicles are a refreshing combination of Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada. So perfect for a hot summer day!
- 2 cups hulled, sliced strawberries
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz. white rum, I use Bacardi
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. superfine sugar
- 2 1/2 cups pineapple, cut into chunks
- 1/3 cup cream of coconut, at room temperature
- 2 oz. Malibu Rum
-
To a blender, add sliced strawberries, lime juice, white rum and sugar. Puree until smooth.
-
Spoon the mixture into the bottom of your popsicle molds, filling mold 1/2 full, about 1 1/2 oz. Just eyeball your mold. Freeze for 45 minutes to one hour until set. To get the mixture on the diagonal, place the mold on a baking sheet, then place a book under one side of the popsicle mold.
-
To a blender, add pineapple chunks, cream of coconut and Malibu rum. Puree until smooth.
-
Spoon the mixture on top of the strawberry daquiri layer. Insert sticks. Freeze until firm, at least 5 hours.
-
To unmold the pops, run some warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, then pull on sticks and remove.
Dear Mary Ann ! Absolutely astonishing ! Truly enjoy your works of art. :-)
Thank you so much! You’re so sweet!
OMG I’ve never heard of this cocktail, how is that possible? I used to love that show. These are the perfect summer treat!
I know, right?! I never heard of it either. These are definitely a treat for this hot weather Karen!
If this doesn’t say summer – nothing does!! Delicious, my friend!!
Agreed! Happy weekend Annie!
I’m all about the frozen treats lately, and I appreciate you went a little boozy with these! I’ve heard of a miami vice cocktail, but I’ve never tried one. Making it in popsicle form sounds like a good place to start! Stay cool Mary Ann!
It’s roasting here Leanne! Popsicles are saving me!
It’s melting hot here in the great white north, as well :) So yes, I’ll take a dozen of these! Love the combination of flavours.
The perfect cool down Jennifer!
It has been ridiculously warm and humid here too, Mare! Totally calls for all the popsicles, and if there is booze in them all the better!!! I think you know I love a good cocktail so I’m over here wondering how the heck I’ve never had a Miami Vice?!? Clearly I have been missing out, but I can’t wait to make up for it with ALL the pop-tails!!! These are just fabulous! Pinning to make!
I thought you might like these Chey! Enjoy! Hope the weather cools down in your neck of the woods too!
I’ve been living under a rock too because I’d never heard of a Miami Vice cocktail until now either. Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada are the perfect popsicle pair for hot summer days! Why choose one when you can have both!? Love these, Mary Ann!
Lol! Thanks Marissa. Thank goodness for Sean, right?!
Oh wow, now this is the type of popsicle I can get behind. An ‘adult’ one so I don’t have to have the ones my kids eat that are are flavours like ‘green’ and ‘purple’!
Haha! Enjoy!
I love these fun popsicles! We’re having a dinner party on Saturday and I think these would make for such a unique after-dinner treat for everyone! Who doesn’t love pina colada?!
Oh, they’d be perfect Katherine!
Boozy popsicles!? Sign me up! They sound delicious, but they look so pretty too!
Thanks so much Alex! I’m always up for a summer boozy pop!
I guess I’m living under the same rock because I’ve never heard of the Miami Vice cocktail either. But now that I have, I want one. Love that you’ve turned it into a popsicle. Perfect for a summertime treat!
Perfect for the sweltering weather we’ve been having Kath! Hope it’s cooler where you are!
So refreshing and perfect to cool off on a hot summer day!
I’ve never heard of a Miami Vice cocktail, Mary Ann – but I am loving this popsicle. Perfect refresher for a day after the beach or a long day in the heat. Love a bit of booze in there too! I like the detail of having the two flavors with a slanted line – would not have thought of the book tilting tip. Stay cool!
these look absolutely wonderful. i love all those flavours together. Yum cheers sherry
Thanks so much Sherry!
These are awesome and a crowd pleaser.
Thanks! So happy you enjoy them Michele!
My favorite part of the recipe are all the five star ratings from people who haven’t tried it. Wow! So refreshing.
Lol! Sorry Mark, but I have no control over people’s choice to rate the recipe and when they do it. I give these the 5 stars though!! And I’ve tried them many a time!
