Drake's Organic Spiked Ice 8PK

Drake's Organic Spiked Ice 8PK is an eight-count box of frozen cocktail pops made with organic vodka, bottled at 12% ABV. As the originator of the "adult popsicle" category — now a billion-dollar market — Drake's holds a unique position: it was the first spirits-based frozen pop and remains one of the strongest in ABV among competitors.

Quick Facts: ABV: 12%  |  Origin: Cauca Valley, Colombia  |  Style: Frozen Vodka Ice Pop  |  Base Spirit: Drake's Organic Vodka

Production & Heritage

Drake's Organic holds the distinction of being the world's first spirits line certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher — a rare convergence of certifications in the spirits world. The base spirit is distilled 12 times from organic cane sugar sourced from Colombia's Cauca Valley and filtered through coconut fiber rather than traditional charcoal. To achieve freezing at 12% ABV — significantly higher than most competitors — Drake's uses natural emulsifiers that allow the pops to solidify in four to five hours without any preservatives.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright, candy-like fruit aromas hit immediately upon tearing open the packaging. There is a subtle clean vodka note underneath, though the fruit character dominates.

Taste: The entry is heavily fruity and sweet, with bold tropical and berry flavors depending on the variety — mango stands out as a particularly well-regarded flavor in the assortment. Mid-palate, the organic vodka base asserts itself more noticeably than in lower-ABV frozen pops, giving Spiked Ice a genuine boozy kick that separates it from the pack.

Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering fruit sweetness. The coconut-fiber filtration contributes to a smooth mouthfeel without any harsh alcohol burn despite the higher proof.

How to Drink Spiked Ice

Place the pops in a freezer for four to five hours until fully frozen, then tear open and enjoy directly from the tube — no glassware needed. For a twist, squeeze a partially thawed pop into a glass and build a cocktail around it: use a mango pop as the fruity base of an Organic Mango Daiquiri blended with ice, fold a berry variety into a Frozen Sangria Punch with chilled red wine and citrus, or top a partially melted pop with sparkling water and fresh mint for a Spiked Ice Spritz that stretches the serve.

• Bringing a crowd-pleasing alternative to beer or seltzers at outdoor gatherings
• Gifting to health-conscious friends who prioritize organic, gluten-free, and vegan products
