I suppose the pops could be diluted way down to 10-14% alcohol instead of the normal 40% alcohol/80 Proof Henny. They would freeze in that case. Just like beer or wine that is in that range of alcohol. Just keep cutting down the booze and keep on adding water. They won't be as solid as ice cubes, but certainly frozen and slushy.
Fun fact: cognac became popular within the black community after WW1. Black soldiers stationed in France were treated with respect and dignity, unlike back home in America during the 1910's. They acquired a taste for French cognac once they realized they were allowed to visit any bar they wanted to without being segregated, and in French bars cognac was flowing freely. French soldiers also shared their alcohol with their black American comrades. They brought these stories of the good times had over cognac back home to the USA, and a trend was set.

You could get it down to -109°F with Dry Ice, which can be picked up from a grocery store by anyone over 18 as far as it goes where I live.
Edit: I know Liquid Nitrogen is -321°F, just suggesting this cause I don't think you could need it that cold.

Edit: My bad, it was WW1 not WW2.
