For those of you still holding on to summer (or are lucky enough to live somewhere that enjoys summer weather year-round), these coconut popsicles taste like a tropical paradise. Created by Courtney from the blog Fork to Belly, the coconut mint lemonade pops are a combination of warm climate-appropriate flavors.
The coconut popsicles are a combination of simple syrup and homemade lemonade. The simple syrup consists of granulated sugar, lemon zest, coconut water and fresh mint leaves. The lemonade contains the simple syrup as well as freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold coconut water. For garnish, you can add extra mint leaves and lemon wedges. For a more adult take, you could easily add some booze for an alcoholic version.
