Paletas de Sangrita

• 1 cup water
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 cups pureed ripe tomatoes (about 5 tomatoes)
• 1/3 cup silver or blanco tequila
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)
• 3 tablespoons hot sauce (choose a brand that isnt too vinegary, such as Cholula, Tapatio, or Valentina)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan.
2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
3. Let cool to room temperature.
4. Combine the tomatoes, tequila, lime juice, hot sauce, salt, and syrup in a large bowl and stir until well combined.
5. If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours.
6. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours.
7. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturers instructions.
