Take note
Please drink responsibly and make sure to check the legal age restrictions in your country. Consumption of alcohol is only allowed for individuals of legal drinking age. Also, keep in mind that the alcohol content in the beer will not completely evaporate during the freezing process, so these popsicles will still have some alcohol content.

1

Choose Your Favorite Beer

The first step in making Jelly Beer Popsicles is to choose your favorite beer. Pick a beer that you genuinely enjoy as it will be the star of this refreshing summer treat. Whether you prefer a crisp lager or a hoppy IPA, the choice is yours. Just make sure it's a beer you'll love frozen!

2

Prepare the Gelatin Mixture

In a saucepan, pour 1 cup of beer. Sprinkle 1 packet (about 2 1/2 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over the beer and let it sit for a minute. Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This will create the base for your Jelly Beer Popsicles.

3

Add Some Sweetness

To balance the bitterness of the beer, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the gelatin mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. If you prefer your popsicles sweeter, you can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.

4

Enhance the Flavor

To add an extra burst of flavor, you can mix in some fruits, herbs, or even a splash of fruit juice that pairs well with your chosen beer. Consider adding sliced citrus fruits, berries, mint leaves, or a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations!

5

Fill the Popsicle Molds

Pour the gelatin mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little room at the top for expansion during freezing. If you don't have specific popsicle molds, you can also use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks. Make sure the sticks are centered and submerged in the mixture for easy removal later.

6

Freeze and Enjoy!

Place the filled popsicle molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely frozen. Once frozen, run warm water over the outside of the molds to help release the popsicles easily. Gently pull out the popsicles and savor the refreshing taste of your homemade Jelly Beer Popsicles. Cheers to a delightful summer treat!
