Move over froyo, this summer there’s a whole new batch of cool, refreshing treats that are taking center stage. Ones that hit the spot far better than creamy ice creams or fruity popsicles. A refreshing solution for sticky summer nights and the perfect novelty aperitif, we’re talking alcoholic ice pops — and we’re obsessed. While cafes and delis may have led the trend in the form of prosecco pops, what we’re enjoying is the fact that they’re so easy to make at home. Whether you’re into rum, vodka or port, we’ve got a recipe for you.
