![]() ![]() ![]() Suffice it to say, my first time trying a ready-to-go margarita cocktail in the form of the Kokomo Margarita Ice Pops was not the experience I had hoped for. It also robs you of the opportunity to decide just how strong or sweet you want your margarita to be. And while they are still cheaper than buying your own tequila and margarita staples, their basic taste and short freezer life don’t make them a viable option. At that point they are essentially watered down lemonade.Īt $12 a box, I hoped the Kokomo Margarita Ice Pops would be a cheaper alternative to making my own margaritas. I found it best to consume the freeze pops no later than two days after putting them in the freezer, whereas afterwards they tended to lose their smooth drinking texture and become rock solid. There were only small hints of lime and the alcohol was barely detectable. The taste of the freeze pops was lacklustre at best. Enjoying the margarita pops freezy style proved to be quite the undertaking, especially after the freeze pops had stayed in my freezer for a few days. The packaging says you can either have the freeze pops freezy-style or plop them into a cup. ![]() First off, Kokomo’s freeze pops are incredibly difficult to place in a glass. Unfortunately, my experience with the freeze pops was not as positive. The Kokomo brand also has mojito and cosmo varieties of their alcoholic freeze pops. The box made it look like everything you would expect from a regular margarita, without the need to go through the hassle of mixing it yourself. Here was a product which comes in a convenient box of six ready-to-consume margarita cocktails, but frozen. But on my last trip to my local Sobey’s liquor store I saw the Kokomo Margarita Ice Pops and was intrigued. Making a margarita at home is part of the fun - mixing the tequila, shaved ice, lime, and brimming it with salt. The delicious mix of tang and sweet with a side of salt makes for the perfect summer drink. While I’m a strong proponent of crisp craft beer or a neat Cuba libre, you can never go wrong with a classic margarita. With the heat rising, I wanted an easy way to enjoy a classic refreshing iced margarita cocktail.
