Tips:

For the perfect pop: Use a high-quality rum, such as Plantation Pineapple or Hamilton Gold. Fresh fruits like pineapple, lime, and orange will give you the best flavor. And don't skimp on the grenadine - it's what gives the Mai Tai its signature red color.
Make sure your popsicle molds are clean and dry before you fill them. This will help prevent the pops from sticking.
If you don't have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups or ice cube trays. Just be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap before you freeze them.
Freeze the pops for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will ensure that they're completely frozen and solid.
To serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds. This will help loosen the pops so you can easily remove them.
Enjoy your Boozy Mai Tai Pops! They're the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
