Homemade gin and tonic ice lollies: three easy recipes to try at home!
Jun 7, 2020
Creative, innovative and oh-so-delicious, Lixir Drink’s scrumptious mixers are now well known for their inventive flavour combinations.
It’s easy to see why when you try the likes of their Elderflower & Lemon, Blood Orange & Cinnamon or Rhubarb & Ginger tonic waters, which we sent to our member’s in their June 2020 Gin of the Month box. They are a perfect partner for gin!
Inspired by their fantastic range, we have created some yummy gin and Lixir tonic water ice lolly recipes for you to try out. There is no better (or more delicious) way to beat the summer heat!
Elderflower & Lemon Gin and Lixir Tonic Water Ice Lollies
Zesty, floral and sweet, these lollies are bursting with the sunshine delights of flowery elderflower and lemon’s citrus charm!
Ingredients
200ml lemon juice
40g sugar
50ml gin (Ludlow Elderflower, Chamomile and Lemon Verbena Gin would be perfect here!)
Lixir Elderflower& Lemon tonic water
Method
Add your lemon juice to a pouring jug and with your sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add your gin and then stir to combine. Pour equal amounts into each lolly-pop mould then top up with the Lixir Elderflower & Lemon tonic water. Stir then add your lolly stick. Leave to freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours. Enjoy!
Rhubarb & Ginger Gin and Lixir Tonic Water Ice Lollies
Balancing rhubarb’s scrumptious tartness with sweeter notes and the zingy fragrance of ginger, these ice lollies an absolute joy!
Ingredients
5 sticks of rhubarb
50g of sugar
50ml gin (we recommend Tarquin’s Rhubarb & Raspberry Gin)
25ml lime juice
Lixir Rhubarb & Ginger tonic water
Method
Chop your rhubarb into small pieces and add to a pan with the sugar. Stir on medium heat until the rhubarb has broken down to a jam-like consistency. Sieve the rhubarb into a pouring jug, pressing down and scraping the underside of the sieve to get as much juice as possible. Add your gin and lime juice. Stir to combine. Pour into your lolly-pop moulds evenly and then top up with your Lixer Rhubarb & Ginger tonic water. Stir then add your lolly stick. Leave to freeze overnight or for at least 8 hours. Delicious!

200ml fresh blood orange juice

Lixir Blood Orange & Cinnamon tonic water
Method
Add your blood orange juice and sugar to a pouring jug. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add your gin and stir again. Pour equal amounts into each lolly-pop mould and then top up with your Lixir Blood Orange & Cinnamon tonic water. Stir then add your lolly stick. Leave to freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight. Scrumptious!
