- Gummy Bear Ice Pops These are probably the easiest popsicles on this list to make. And they also might be the most fun. All you need is your favorite clear soda and gummy bears.
I know lots of folks love Haribo brand gummy bears, but I highly suggest picking up a bag of Albanese gummy bears. They are larger and have quite a few more colors and flavors. My kiddos love these, and a few full-grown adults in my life get excited whenever I make these popsicles too. (Identities protected so my friends can save face.)
- Lavender Lemon Balm I love these beautiful and simple popsicles. The flavor is so light and refreshing. Plus, in my experience, the kids won’t eat them all before you can get one.
They’re great to make when you have lavender and lemon balm going crazy in your garden. But you can also enjoy this lovely herbal pop with dried lavender and lemon balm. Simply substitute the fresh lavender for two tablespoons of dried lavender and two tablespoons of dried lemon balm leaves.
- Gin and Tonic Popsicles When it comes to cocktails, nothing says summer like a classic G&T, and it’s definitely gin and tonic weather lately.
Mix up these easy popsicles for a truly icy cocktail experience that isn’t too heavy-handed on the booze. You’ll want to eat them up quickly as the citrus loses its color and looks less than appealing if you leave them in the freezer for too long. (Ask me how I know.)
- Spicy Peach Popsicles with Tequila (or without) I had half of a jalapeno and a handful of peaches left after making salsa and peach jam last week. And so, these delightful little popsicles were born.
This pop will make you sit up and pay attention with the extra zing from the jalapeno. But it’s such a fun flavor combination that I couldn’t resist. I think this would be a great popsicle to serve at a barbecue.
In a small saucepan, add ½ cup of water and ½ cup of honey. Bring to a boil, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and add four fresh jalapeno slices to the honey syrup
