Root Beer Popsicles FAQs


Can I use diet root beer for the popsicles?


Absolutely! Diet root beer soda can be used to make root beer float ice pops. However, keep in mind that the flavor and sweetness may differ slightly from regular root beer.

Can I make these popsicles without a popsicle mold?


Yes, you can get creative if you don’t have popsicle molds. Use small paper or plastic cups as molds and insert popsicle sticks into them. Alternatively, you can use ice cube trays or silicone molds for bite-sized popsicles.

How long do the popsicles need to freeze?


The freezing time can vary depending on the size of your popsicles and the temperature of your freezer. Generally, it takes around 4 to 6 hours for the popsicles to freeze completely. To be sure, it’s best to check the firmness before serving.

Can I make these popsicles ahead of time?


Absolutely! These popsicles are a great option for making in advance. Prepare them the day before or a few hours before your gathering to ensure they are fully frozen and ready to enjoy.

How do I store leftover popsicles?


If you have any leftover popsicles, individually wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container before returning them to the freezer. They can be stored for a few weeks, but for the best taste and texture, it’s recommended to enjoy them within a week.
