Thirsty? Then Bite Into this Drink!

Here is why I love the internet…I can find great drink ideas like this – and as the summer heat softens into the warm glow of fall, I have the perfect way to celebrate the season:

Watermelon Mojito Popsicles!

Yep, the icy cold goodness of a popsicle with the tasty kick of a Mojito! I found a couple of amazing recipes for these frozen treats, and I wanted to share one with you!

Makes 12 2.5 oz Popsicles

· 8oz. watermelon juice (2 ½ cups chopped watermelon)
· 2 oz fresh lime juice
· 1 oz. simple mint syrup
· 8 oz. light rum
· 14 oz. club soda

Boom!

There are so many variations on this – add different fruit, perhaps substitute rum with vodka…whatever icy cool popsicle fits your summer!

Here are your easy instructions:

1. Place chopped watermelon in a food processor or blender and process until watermelon is juiced (will be slightly pulpy).

2. Combine watermelon juice, lime juice, mint syrup and rum in a shaker and shake well. Fill popsicle mold 3/4 of the way up with mixture. Fill remaining popsicle mold with club soda and stir to combine.

3. Freeze for about 2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 2-3 seconds.

Enjoy!

Alcoholic popsicles are quite the rage, but there are many ways to make these without alcohol as well!

And of course, remember you don’t need your alcohol frozen – IF you have a spare “ox bone” handy!

Behold The “Bone Luge!”

Yep, just grab a hollowed out ox bone and have your favorite drink served up fresh!

I love the “bone luge!” Not sure if you get that “meaty” flavor with your drink, but read all about this trend by clicking here:

This is all making me hungry. Time to grab a drink with some good eating attached!
