Embrace the End of Summer with Adult Ice Pops
As summer days start to shorten and holidays like Labor Day approach, it’s easy to feel a hint of melancholy about the season ending. But who says the joy of summer treats has to stop? While I adore a good homemade fruit popsicle for its pure refreshing qualities, sometimes a more grown-up indulgence is in order. This is where the magic of “adult ice pops” truly shines!
You know precisely what I’m talking about: an ice pop that artfully incorporates alcohol, transforming a childhood favorite into a sophisticated, yet still fun, dessert. Whether you call them boozy ice pops, spiked ice pops, or as I affectionately dub them, “adult ice pops,” these frozen delights are strictly for the grown-ups in the house. They add an element of playful sophistication to any gathering, from backyard BBQs to poolside lounging, ensuring that summer’s spirit of relaxation and fun extends well into the evening.
The Irresistible Flavor of Cinnamon Buns
The truly remarkable aspect of this recipe is how perfectly it captures the essence of a freshly baked cinnamon bun. The creamy sweetness of the cream soda combined with the spicy warmth of Fireball whiskey creates a flavor profile that is uncannily reminiscent of that beloved pastry. Each lick delivers a burst of cinnamon, vanilla, and sweet cream, followed by the pleasant warmth of the whiskey. It’s a dessert and a cocktail all in one, designed to surprise and delight your taste buds!
Essential Fireball Ice Pop Supplies
Crafting the perfect batch of Fireball Whiskey ice pops requires just a few simple tools. While the ingredients are minimal, the right equipment ensures a smooth and enjoyable process from start to finish. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
Choosing Your Ice Pop Molds
For personal enjoyment and reusability, we recommend using plastic ice pop molds. These durable molds are easy to clean and can be used countless times for all your frozen treat experiments. They typically come with reusable sticks or built-in handles, making them an eco-friendly choice.
However, if you’re planning a larger gathering, like a BBQ, pool party, or any event where minimizing cleanup is key, then disposable ice pop baggies are a brilliant alternative. These individual pouches can be filled, sealed, and frozen, offering a convenient, no-mess solution for serving your boozy popsicles to a crowd. They also make it easier for guests to enjoy their treats without worrying about returning molds.
Where to Find Your Supplies
You can often pick up ice pop molds at many major retailers, such as Target and Walmart, especially during the warmer months. These stores typically stock a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your needs. But, if you’re anything like me and prefer the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your couch, you can easily order them via Amazon here. Online shopping offers a wider selection and the ease of having them delivered right to your door.

Fireball Whiskey Cinnamon Roll Boozy Ice Pop
Author: Jaclyn
Ingredients
-
2 cups cream soda (I used A&W for that classic flavor) -
¼ cup Fireball cinnamon whiskey
Instructions
-
1In a pitcher or large mixing bowl, gently add the Fireball cinnamon whiskey and the cream soda. Stir thoroughly to combine the two liquids. Be careful not to stir too vigorously, as cream soda can foam up. Ensure the ingredients are fully integrated for a consistent flavor in every pop.
-
2Carefully pour the mixture into your chosen ice pop molds. Fill each cavity up to the designated fill line. This is crucial to prevent overflow during freezing and to ensure easy removal once solid. If you’re using disposable baggies, use a small funnel to fill them, leaving a little space at the top for sealing.
-
3Place the cover on the molds, inserting the popsicle sticks into each pop if your molds require them. If using disposable baggies, seal them tightly to prevent leaks and freezer burn. Proper sealing helps maintain the flavor and texture of your cinnamon roll ice pops.
-
4Transfer the filled molds or baggies to the freezer. Freeze for at least 3 hours before serving. For the best, most solid boozy ice pops, I highly recommend freezing them overnight. The alcohol content means they might freeze a little softer than regular popsicles, so extra freezing time ensures they are perfectly firm and enjoyable.

Tips for Perfect Boozy Ice Pops Every Time
Achieving the ideal texture and flavor for your Fireball Whiskey Cinnamon Roll Ice Pops is simple with these additional tips:
- The Alcohol Factor: Remember that alcohol lowers the freezing point of liquids. This means your spiked ice pops might be a bit softer than traditional fruit pops. For a firmer consistency, you can slightly reduce the amount of Fireball whiskey or increase the freezing time.
- Easy Demolding: To remove the frozen pops from their molds without a struggle, run the outside of the mold under warm water for 15-30 seconds. This will loosen the edges, allowing the pops to slide out effortlessly.
- Storage: Once frozen, you can transfer your adult popsicles to individual plastic bags or an airtight container. This prevents freezer burn and keeps them fresh for up to two weeks.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate your presentation! Serve these cinnamon whiskey pops on a bed of ice, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a small dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence.
Variations to Try
While the classic Fireball and cream soda combination is a winner, feel free to experiment with these delicious variations:
- Different Sodas: Swap cream soda for root beer for a “cinnamon beer float” pop, or try ginger ale for a spicier kick.
- Spice It Up: For an even more intense cinnamon flavor, add a pinch of ground cinnamon directly to your mixture before freezing.
- Fruity Twist: A dash of apple juice could complement the cinnamon whiskey beautifully, creating an “apple pie” inspired popsicle.
A Word on Responsibility
These alcoholic popsicles are intended for adult consumption only. Please ensure they are clearly marked and stored away from children. Always enjoy responsibly, and never drink and drive. The goal is to have fun and stay safe!
