Cocktails on a Stick (Peach Punch Pops)

It's finally cooled off now that I've made another kind of frozen dessert. The Peach Punch Pops are frozen, boozy iced tea. If you're familiar with general issues freezing liquor you'll understand why there's a lot of volume of non-alcoholic ingredients in these.
The mixture of peaches, iced tea, and bourbon was big enough that I had to blend it in two batches to get it all though my blender. Then, to further encourage freezing, the puree gets chilled before going into the popsicle molds. Patience...
Just Chillin'
I have 18 popsicle molds from the set I bought. I used 17 for this recipe. At least the molds are earning their keep.
The texture on these is definitely more slushy than non-alcoholic popsicles. I'm assuming that's a byproduct of the high bourbon content. They're definitely frozen cocktails on a stick.
Don't leave these out too long, they start to melt fast.

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? Probably not. I think I like peaches better baked than frozen. If you needed a sneaky way to delivery a boozy treat these would be on the list though; you will taste the bourbon as soon as you start eating them. These are more to my taste than the Cucumber Lime Yogurt Pops but not addictive.
