NOT FOR KIDS! by Chrystal Caruthers Nothing says summer like a popsicle. Cool and refreshing, they remind us of childhood. But these frozen treats are not kid-friendly. Mixed with Tequila, these tasty concoctions are a cocktail on a stick. Because alcohol doesn’t freeze, we add pineapple juice and tonic but remember, there’s two cups of pure fun…I mean, Tequila, in there so eat slowly! And, we have to say it, don’t drive after eating these popsicles! Ingredients 1 fresh pineapple 1 cup pineapple juice 1/2 cup tonic 2 cups silver tequila 1/4 cup agave nectar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice Fresh mint leaves Directions Slice fresh pineapple in half. Scoop out the fruit. Add pineapple juice, fresh pineapple, tonic, lime juice, tequila and agave nectar. Blend. Using store bought popsicle molds, pour mixture into each mold. Add a mint leaf to each mold for a pop of color and burst of freshness. Freeze for an hour then add popsicle sticks. Freeze overnight. Release the popsi- cles by running the molds under hot water. Enjoy! Pineapple Margarita Popsicles
