Indulge in the sweet and boozy delight of homemade Peach Bourbon Popsicles this summer! A delicious grown-up twist on the childhood favorite…popsicles!
I was inspired by my delicious Bourbon Peach Cocktail to make some fun boozy popsicles with the same flavor profile for a pool party. I really love the peach-bourbon flavor combination. This recipe is quicker to make than my Roasted Peach Popsicles. All you have to do is blend up the canned peaches , add the bourbon or whiskey, simple syrup, a little lemon juice and minced ginger paste (optional, but recommend) and pour into a popsicle mold to freeze. I made a mint simple syrup but you could always use regular simple syrup and blitz some fresh mint leaves with the peaches.
NOTE: Remember when making popsicles with booze… they don’t freeze as hard as popsicles without booze. If you use too much alcohol they won’t freeze up. Also, if you taste the mixture prior to freezing and it tastes a bit too sweet, that’s ok! When frozen, it will taste fine. Frozen treats need more sweetness.

- Yield: 9-10 pops 1x
Ingredients
- 1 lg. can (29oz.) yellow cling peaches in heavy syrup or 1 21oz. can peach pie filling*
- 1/4 C. bourbon or whiskey
- 1/3 C. mint simple syrup*
- 2 Tbls. lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. minced ginger paste (opt.)
Instructions
- Puree can of peaches with syrup or the peach pie filling. I used my Nutribullet blender. You’ll want about 2 1/2 cups of pureed peaches.
- Add bourbon or whiskey, simple syrup, lemon juice and ginger paste, if using, and blend again to combine.
- Pour into popsicle molds, insert sticks and freeze until solid.
Notes
To make mint simple syrup combine equal parts sugar and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let a handful of fresh mint leaves steep. Strain and store simple syrup in refrigerator. See this flavored simple syrup post for more detailed instructions.
I have used both canned peaches and peach pie filling. Both are good, you will have a little bit more puree with the larger can of peaches in heavy syrup.
