Step-by-Step Instructions for Salted Spicy Watermelon Margarita Popsicles:

Let's get freezing and start smashing those summer cravings!

Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Mixture

In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon, Tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice, agave nectar (or simple syrup), sea salt, and chili powder (or cayenne).
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness, salt, or spice to your preference. If you want it sweeter, add more agave. If you want more kick, add a tiny bit more chili.

Step 2: Prepare Your Popsicle Molds

If you want to add an extra touch, you can lightly "rim" the inside of your popsicle molds with a mixture of flaky sea salt and chili powder/Tajín before pouring. This adds a fun visual and an immediate flavor burst.
Pour the watermelon margarita mixture into your popsicle molds, filling them almost to the top, leaving a little room for expansion.

Step 3: Freeze the Popsicles

Insert popsicle sticks into each mold. If using molds without stick slots, let the mixture freeze for about 30-60 minutes until it's slightly slushy, then insert the sticks so they stand upright.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid. For best results, freeze overnight.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

When ready to serve, briefly run the popsicle molds under warm water (about 10-15 seconds) to help release the popsicles.
Carefully pull out the popsicles.
For an extra flourish, you can sprinkle a tiny bit more flaky sea salt or chili powder on top, or even garnish with a small watermelon triangle or lime zest. Serve immediately and savor the explosion of flavors!
