Boozy Ice Pops
Keep cool with these booze-infused popsicles. You can mix and match with your favorite fruit juice and liquor (stay away from Champagne—the bubbles don't freeze well) and even personalize the sticks. Just combine one shot (1 1/2 ounce) of alcohol to one cup of juice in an ice-pop maker, freeze, and enjoy! Our fave flavor combinations are? Lime and tequila, mango and rum, strawberry-lemonade and vodka, grapefruit and gin, rhubarb and vodka and mixed berry and vodka, mixed berry and vodka with orange and campari, and apple cider and bourbon.
