Benjamina Ebuehi has shared a recipe for rum punch ice lollies, a boozy frozen treat perfect for summer entertaining. The lollies combine pineapple, orange, and lime juices with dark rum and a hint of grenadine for sweetness and colour.
Ingredients and Preparation
The recipe calls for pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, dark rum, grenadine, and a little sugar syrup. Ebuehi recommends tasting the mixture before freezing and adjusting the rum or sweetness to your preference.
To make the lollies, simply whisk all the ingredients together in a jug, then pour into ice lolly moulds. Add wooden sticks and freeze for at least six hours or overnight until solid.
Serving Suggestions
Once frozen, dip the moulds briefly in warm water to release the lollies easily. Serve straight from the freezer for a refreshing, adult-only dessert.
The recipe is designed to be flexible – you can swap the dark rum for white rum or add a splash of coconut cream for a creamier texture. Ebuehi suggests garnishing with a lime wedge or a maraschino cherry before serving.
