Beer Ice Lollies Recipe

Beer Ice Lollies Recipe

We know how refreshing a nice cold beer can be on a hot summers day. Ad we all love an ice lolly, so we have made the ultimate ice lolly recipe. Beer Ice Lollies.

You can make these lollies with beer, cider, lager and even alcohol free versions too.

It's not like freezing juice, these beer lollies don't freeze rock hard because of the alcohol. And if you make them with fizzy beer, it gives the ice lollies a texture that's easy to crunch and as it melts in your mouth has a sparkle too.

If you love beer (lager or cider) and you love an ice lolly (popsicles as the Americans call them) then lets combine them into something awesome!

It works best with fruity craft beers, lagers and ciders under 6%. They are simple and easy to make, you just need some moulds which you can buy in lots of different shops. Any more than 6% and you just get a slushy even at -18°C.

The bitters in beer and lager are enhanced by the freeing process, so we have to balance that with some extra sugar. Medium, sweet and fruity ciders work best.

It's best to make these 24-48 hours in advance as the alcohol slows the freezing process.

If you are a lolly sucker, then get ready for a hit of alcohol. As the alcohol melts first, you end up sucking all the alcohol out and leaving behind the ice shell. Congratulations you have just turned yourself in to your own personal Cryo Still.
