Altos Blueberry Mint: Alcoholic Ice Pops
In a small saucepan, create a mint simple syrup by combining the sugar, water and all but 8 of the mint leaves. Heat over medium until sugar is dissolved. Discard the mint leaves and let the mixture cool. Strain the mint and add contents to a large bowl. Add the lime juice and Altos Tequila Reposado. Stir well to combine.

Which Tequila Use to Make Our Blueberry Margarita Ice Pops
Reposado tequila is a must for this frozen blueberry margarita recipe. It’s a delicious twist on the classic cocktail, and it’s perfect for summer!
This tequila has been aged in oak barrels for at least a year, which gives it a somewhat stronger flavor than its younger counterpart, white tequila. The oak aging process also allows more complex flavors to develop in the drink. For this reason, tequila reposado is often the choice for cocktails served over ice or mixed with ice.
Although you don’t have to use the reposado in this recipe, I love the way it complements the blueberry ice cream. If you can’t find reposado, you can substitute white tequila.
By using olmeca altos tequila in your margarita ice pops, you’ll be able to enjoy a cool treat that tastes like your favorite summertime drink—and it won’t give you a hangover!
Cocktails to Accompany Our Margarita Ice Pops
When it comes to cocktails, we’re all about the classics. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a flair for the exotic.
Our Prickly Pear Margarita is made with prickly pear puree, tequila, triple sec, syrup and lime juice. It’s sweet, tart and refreshing.
The Blood Orange Margarita is made with blood orange juice, tequila, simple syrup and lime juice. We top it with a salted rim and candied grapefruit zest.
Alto’s Margarita: This is a twist on the traditional margarita recipe, with a handful of diced citrus and honey. It’s what we drink every time we watch our favorite telenovela.
Why Altos Tequila?
You’ve got to try the margarita freeze pop with Altos tequila. It’s the perfect choice for the margarita flavor in this recipe, because it has a strong and distinct tequila aroma. The Altos Reposado is made with 100% blue agave, which gives it a sweet and floral aroma that combines perfectly with the lime juice and blueberries in this recipe.
