Hahahahaha!!! I really LIKE the way you think!

OK, in the name of science, I decided to put this to the test.

In the original recipe, the proportions are about 12 oz water or water-based liquids (juices) to 2 oz alcohol. Grand Marnier is 40% alcohol/volume and I think tequila would be about the same. I used a flavoured vodka for my experiment and it's label reads 35% alc/vol. So I may be using a slight touch less alcohol than the original recipe.

(I don't think there is any need to go into the differences between US and Canada/Europe in terms of reporting alcohol content, but I'll mention that I believe the US uses alcohol/weight while Canada/Europe uses alcohol/volume, and I don't know how much variation this results in. My products are Canadian.)

I didn't have the ingredients for the original recipe, so I decided to use up a mini of Smirnoff Twist of Lime (which has been in my cupboard for awhile) in similar proportions to the recipe. I used 50 ml of vodka, 100 ml of Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice and topped up with water to make a total of about 300 ml. (I probably should have added a touch of Grand Marnier, but forgot.)

I didn't add sugar, because the flavoured vodka is already sweetened with sugar. I don't know if that changes anything - if sugar-water freezes more or less easily than water.

I found a plastic popsicle mold in the back of one of my cupboards, washed it, and poured the mixture in. It was enough to fill five segments, so approx 60 ml each. It's in the back of my refrigerator freezer compartment right now, and I'll give an update tonight or tomorrow.

Next is to see how much I can increase the alcohol content and still get a decently frozen result.
