Costco Is Bringing Back Its Beloved Vodka Martini Pops
UPDATE: April 2, 2019
Costco is bringing back a fan favorite. Earlier this week, Instagram account Costco Deals reported the return of Slim Chillers' Vodka Martini Skinny Freezers. Don't let the long, frilly name fool you—they're basically just boozy popsicles.
The Cosmopolitan, Watermelon Lemonade, Appletini, and Lemon Drop-flavored adult pops are already hitting shelves, which can only mean one thing: Summer is *almost* upon us. Available in 12-packs for just $19.99, commenters took to IG to not only rave over the frozen treats, but fill fellow customers in on where they're stocked. According to the post, the Slim Chillers have been spotted in Madison, Wisconsin. In the past, they've also been sold in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado stores.
All across Twitter, fans are reacting over the return. "I found vodka martini freezer pops at Costco tonight and now I’m pretty excited about my plans for getting drunk this summer," one user wrote. "Costco now sells vodka martini otter pops, you’re welcome," another added. By the sheer volume of tweets, there are good odds your local retailer has already stocked up. Here are more reactions:

Between acaí bowls, bulk boxes of spaghetti squash, and giant tubs of hazelnut spread, Costco is making it reeeally hard to skip out on a membership these days. The newest product to add to your shopping list is everything you could want in a summer buy. Slim Chillers' boozy popsicles — or adult otter pops, as one wise woman called them — turn martinis into an icy dessert, and bless up, they're back in stores for the summer.
The boozy pops (hide 'em from your kids, moms!) come in four flavors: Cosmopolitan, Watermelon Lemonade, Appletini, and Lemon Drop. As the name suggests, their main draw is that they're both alcoholic (8% ABV) and low-cal, with 100 calories in each pop. We're not saying you'll able to limit yourself to just one, but hey, for a dessert and drink, the calorie count is pretty solid. As for what's inside, the pops are made with vodka, flavoring, and a splash of vermouth.

Pro tip: If you live in California, you can buy Slim Chillers in any BevMo store, as well as some local liquor stores (find an exact location here). They're also available online through Hi-Time Wine, where you can buy them individually or in 12-packs. But, if you pick 'em up at Costco, you can get one of these fun tube containers.
According to Slim Chillers, they are available for the summer in select Costco locations across California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado.
