Trial and error is key. If you are not sure, just make a small batch. Documentation is also helpful, so make notes on how much you added to everything. Weight is much more accurate than volume. This will allow you to tweak from previous times and recreate the batches you liked.
 
ADULT VERSIONS
Having popsicles with a little extra kick hanging out in your freezer with little ones around is not a good idea. But ... if you have a secure freezer, or a house empty of minors, here are a few tips. You can do molded popsicles, but you need to make sure that the percentage does not exceed 10%, that is roughly 2 to 2 1⁄2 ounces of a 35%-45% spirit per 8 ounces max so it will freeze solid. If you are freezing sealable bags, you can go a little higher. Worst case you might end up with more of a slush.
