Post image for Mango, Lychee, and Kiwi Daiquiri Push Pops Cocktails from Today Show

Out of all the cocktail popsicles I made for the TODAY Show segment, this is my favorite in flavor. I got the push pop molds from LagunaWholesale.com as I found that they had great prices and very cool gourmet pastry supplies.

For Kiwi Layer:
1 cup chopped fresh mango
1 tablespoon frozen limeade concentrate
1 teaspoon white rum
1 teaspoon corn syrup
 
For Lychee Layer:
1 cup chopped fresh mango
1 tablespoon frozen limeade concentrate
1 teaspoon white rum
1 teaspoon corn syrup
 
For Mango Layer:
1 cup chopped fresh mango
1 tablespoon frozen limeade concentrate
1 teaspoon white rum
1 teaspoon corn syrup
 
Key limes for garnish
Push Pop Molds

For each layer, puree ingredients in a food processor and transfer to a plastic airtight container. Freeze until firm.

 Assemble push-pop molds (I got mine at Laguna Wholesale online).

 Spoon 2 tablespoons of each layer into the mold; compacting each layer down for a level surface. Keep frozen until ready to serve. Garnish with a key lime wheel.

 Makes 4 Push Pops
