Juicy, sweet, ripe peaches are the gems of summer.
I also puree the extra-ripe ones for peach bellini or Igrill and smash them with ginger beer.

Then, theres a new favorite summer treat: peach daiquiri popsicles!
Its a delicious frozen combo of peaches, rum, and fresh lime juice.
I dont add as much rum as I would in a drinkable daiquiri.

In these popsicles, it provides a tart punch without overpowering the peaches or the rum.
A half cup (4 ounces) might seem like a lot of lime juice, but its necessary.
Plus, it wouldnt be a daiquiri without it!

Cant Find Fresh Peaches?
So, what to do when you cant find fresh peaches?
Here are a few options:
Taste for sweetness and add more simple syrup as needed.

Also, depending on which you use, the color of your popsicles will be different than mine.
Juices tends to be more transparent, while purees are thicker and opaquer, and nectars falls somewhere in-between.
Because these popsicles contain rum, they are more delicate than non-alcoholic popsicles.

The lay-flat molds are easier to unmold without breaking the popsicle.
They dont have the old-school indented pattern, but theyre easier to use.
I also find that the stainless-steel molds freeze faster, but are more troublesome to unmold.

you’re free to use small paper cups as molds and reusable spoons as sticks.
Get creative and see what else might work in your kitchen.
Just remember, it needs to be easy to unmold.

These popsicles take a full 24 hours to freeze.
The popsicles can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds.
it’s possible for you to skip this step if using peach nectar.
Gently stir to combine.
Leave about 1/4 inch of room at the top of pull-out style moldsthe popsicles will expand as they freeze.
Lay-flat molds should be fully filled.
If youd like, place a thin slice of peach into each mold.
The molds come with a popsicle holder or stick.
Place it into the mold, following manufacturer instructions.
That will ensure the stick stays upright and doesnt sink.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours and up to 36 hours.
Remove the mold from the freezer and wait 5 minutes before you unmold and serve.
