Ingredients:
1 1/4 c. fresh lime juice (about 8 limes), plus 4 limes for stabilizing the popsicle sticks
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 c. water
1/4 c. tequila
2 Tbsp. orange juice (optional)
Kosher salt or margarita salt
Directions:
In a pitcher or large cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, water, tequila and orange juice. It is important to combine the ingredients in a container that has a spout because it will make it much easier to pour into cups.
Line out 12 Dixie cups (3 oz. each) on a baking sheet. Fill each Dixie cup 90% of the way with the tequila mixture.
Slice the limes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Push a craft spoon through the center of each lime round so that half of the stick pokes out from each side. Top the mixture with the lime sticks. Make sure the lime is resting direct.y on top of the tequila mixture.
Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight. When ready to remove the popsicles from the Dixie cups, simply snip a small cut in the rim of each cup and peel them away from the popsicle. Place the popsicles onto a dish with crushed ice to keep them from melting too quickly. Sprinkle tops generously with kosher salt and serve.
