Gin and fruit ice lollies

We love G&T ice lollies here at Craft Gin Club, they’re cooling, boozy and deliciously tasty. Better still, they’re easier than you think to make.

With the arrival of summer gracing our usually rainy shores, it's been a bit of a struggle to stay cool recently. Although we shouldn’t complain, should we?

The good news is, any of your favourite gin cocktail combos can be adjusted to make boozy pops - from a French 75, to a watermelon and gin sip, or you can simply use the garnish of your fave gin and tonic. The ginny possibilities are endless! So here are our favourite gin and tonic ice lolly recipes…

Pssst… Top tips to make the best gin and tonic ice lollies:

  • Don't go too heavy-handed on the gin! Alcohol doesn't freeze, so your usual 3 shot serving won't work here, unfortunately.
  • Similarly, it's best to freeze these for 24 hours to give the alcohol time to set properly.
  • If you're struggling to get them out of the moulds, just run some warm water around the outside of the moulds to loosen them up.
  • The recipes can be scaled up or down depending on the size and number of your moulds, and how much fruit you want to fill them with.
