Frozen Sour Grapes

These Frozen Sour Grapes are icy, tangy, and seriously addicting. Lime, citric acid, and Tajín bring the punch, while hot honey adds that sweet heat. Like a sour gummy, but fresher and way more fun 🍇🔥.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly.
    Green grapes are being poured into a clear glass bowl on a wooden surface, with sunlight casting shadows across the scene.
  • Once dry, add them into a bowl with lime juice, and citric acid (for that sour punch).
    A hand squeezes a halved lime over a glass bowl filled with green grapes on a wooden surface. Sunlight casts shadows across the scene.
  • Add the Tajín. Toss, place on a baking sheet and freeze.
    A bottle of chili powder is being sprinkled over a glass bowl filled with fresh green grapes on a wooden surface.
  • Once frozen, take them out and add a drizzle of hot honey on top (spicy honey). Enjoy!

Notes

  • Dry grapes well so the coating sticks.
  • Let sit in the mix for 10–15 mins before freezing for more flavor.
  • Freeze in a single layer for at least 2–3 hours.
  • Drizzle hot honey after freezing for best texture.
  • Adjust citric acid and Tajín to taste.
  • Try with other fruits like pineapple or kiwi.
  • No citric acid? Use lime juice + zest.
  • No Tajín? Try chili powder + salt + lime zest.
  • For a twist, use chamoy, agave, or balsamic glaze instead of honey.
  • Soak in rosé or tequila for a fun adult version.
