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!
