Freeze-A-Rita Margarita Pops Will Be the Only Way to Stay Cool This Summer
Updated: Apr. 17, 2020
There will be Lime-A-Rita and Straw-Ber-Rita flavors!
Is there anyone who isn’t actively looking forward to warmer weather? Sure, we don’t have a clear picture of what summer will look like this year—namely, whether or not we’ll still be social distancing.
But regardless of whether we can head to the beach with a group, there’s one summer delight we can enjoy regardless: margaritas. There are very few joys in life that rank higher than sipping a ‘marg on a hot summer day.
Now, Freeze-A-Rita might’ve improved that experience. With the introduction of margarita ice pops, they’re changing the summer drinks game!
What Is a Freeze-A-Rita?
It’s a “frozen margarita icicle.” In other words, it’s a margarita that’s also a popsicle. Freeze-a-Rita is introducing two flavors that marry the boozy delight of sipping margaritas with that iconic summer dessert.
There are six Lime-A-Rita and six Straw-Ber-Rita pops in each case, each with 8% ABV. The packaging says each Freeze-A-Rita contains 55 calories or less per pop, so you don’t have to worry about sacrificing that bikini bod to taste that sweet, sweet strawberry flavor.
If you’re already planning to bring these to the beach, consider making a few of these beach picnic recipes, too.
I Need These ASAP!
Same here. But we’ll all have to wait a little longer; they’re not scheduled to hit stores until May (and in some parts of the country, temperatures are still below freezing). When the Freeze-A-Rita pops make an appearance, we’re recommending that you buy ’em online to skip a trip to the grocery store.
In the meantime, if you’re craving that tart, icy drink, check out how to make a margarita at home.
