You Absolutely Need To Try These Alcoholic Popsicles This Summer
Seems that the summer heat wave will be with us for another long while. What other perfect season to enjoy delicious and refreshing popsicles. In case you were wondering what the hack these “popsicles” are, they are basically flavoured ice on a stick. An if you think of alcoholic popsicles, well, must be just another excuse to bring alcohol into the summer scenario. So, here are the alcoholic popsicles that you absolutely need to try this summer.
1.Prosecco pops
For all my prosecco lovers out there, your favourite sparkling drink comes on a stick too. You can easily prepare them at home by following a few easy steps. Divide your favourite fruit between two popsicle stamps. Then, fill each popsicle stamp three-quarters full with prosecco. You can then top them all with lemonade or sparkling soda and then insert popsicle stick. Important step is to freeze your creative hard work for at least 6 hours. Then just get one out of the freezer when you need a refreshing break. This is one of the most refreshing alcoholic popsicles!
2.Tequila rose popsicles
Experts say once you start eating one, you can’t stop it just there. Simple make a tequila + strawberry mixed drink with sliced strawberries, few shots of tequila, sparkling soda to give a note of sweetness to it. Don’t forget to garnish with tiny pieces of lime or lemon. Before adding your sticks in and freezing, sprinkle ice cube stamps with some salt. Viola, straight into the freezer they go.
3.Blueberry Cabernet Cheesecake Pops
The name itself sounds delicious already. Cheese cake and wine are just the most perfect combo ever. This popsicle will have your taste buds exploding as well as giving you a refreshing break.
4.Roasted banana rum popsicle
Apparently rum and bananas were just meant to be. To give your frozen sticks a vintage note, slightly roast the bananas. These are some of the tastiest alcoholic popsicles!
5.Tequila watermelon popsicles
Pink drinks are the most waned in the summer, so you absolutely need to try the stick version this summer.
6.Raspberry white chocolate prosecco pops
White chocolate and raspberries are just a perfect match made in heaven. When sweet and sour get together there is nothing that can compete, especially if it is on a refreshing summer popsicle. Yet, this recipe is another excuse to bring in the one and only love for prosecco. The quicker you throw your popsicles in the freezer, the sooner you will be able to enjoy them.
7.Peach Mint Rum Popsicles
Peach is such an amazing summer flavour. This summer, try and beat the heat with some peach and mint rum popsicles. The mint creates a great contrast with the sweetness of the peaches. Delish! Some of the tastiest alcoholic popsicles you’ll try this summer!
