Freezing
Does SLIQ have to be frozen?
SLIQ is meant to be consumed fully frozen, but hey, we’re not here to judge if you can’t wait for it in the freezer. They’re perfectly safe to enjoy in liquid form, as well.
How long do they take to freeze?
Given the malt base, our Patriot Pops freeze a bit faster at around 3 hours, while our spirit-based pops take around 8 hours.
Help - my pops aren’t freezing!
Make sure the pops are removed from the carton and laid flat in the freezer. If this still isn’t working, please reach out to us and we’ll address your problem directly.
Can I re-freeze them if they’ve defrosted?
Yep! This won’t affect the incredible taste one bit.
Ingredients
Are the ingredients gluten free? Kosher? Vegan friendly?
Yes – to all three.
Does SLIQ contain allergens?
Nope!
How are these flavored & sweetened?
We use only natural flavors in all our spirit-based formulas, while mixing natural and artificial flavors in our Patriot Pops formulas, to deliver the most refreshing taste in each frozen cocktail. All our spirit-based formulas contain both sugar and sucralose, while our Patriot Pops formulas contain both sugar and stevia to deliver just-right sweetness levels across all pops.
Do these contain high fructose corn syrup?
Nope – not at all. These aren’t your kiddie pops from yesteryear.
Nutrition
How many calories do these contain?
Each pop contains between 80-100 calories, depending on the flavor.
How much alcohol do these contain?
Each pop contains between 5-8% ABV, with all Patriot Pops containing the former and all spirit-based pops containing the latter.
How much sugar is in each pop?
11-12g per pop, depending on the flavor. This is far less than these same cocktails contain in alternative, non portion-controlled formats.
Are these fat free?
You betcha.
Miscellaneous
How do I open these to enjoy them?
Once frozen, snip off the tip safely with a pair of scissors, squeeze and enjoy!
Can I use these as mixers/floaters in other liquid cocktails?
You sure can. In fact, we’ve come up with a variety of drink recipes that include the pops. You can find them in our blog!
Do these travel easily?
Already frozen pops are convenient enough to throw in a cooler with plenty of ice for any good times occasion. They won’t stay frozen all day, though, so the sooner you enjoy them, the better!
Can I recycle the box/pops?
The box can be recycled via your local paperboard recycling facility, so make sure to put it in your recycling bin at home. The pops can be recycled via a partnership we have formed with TerraCycle. Learn more about how to participate in this program here!
