These vivacious vodka popsicles contain a number of delicious flavors, including blackberry, pineapple and cilantro. From Katy Peetz of Tasting Table Test Kitchen, the ice pop recipe is a sweet frozen treat you have to try before the summer ends.
The adult-appropriate pretty party pop features lots of bold flavors. The booze will also have you feeling bold if you eat enough of these. They are great to serve at parties or social gatherings where beating the heat would be an added bonus.
