What could be better than a cold, refreshing popsicle on a hot summer day? A cold, refreshing popsicle filled with booze, that’s what! Boozy popsicles are sure to make any pool day or party on the beach a blast. All you need is a popsicle mold, a few ingredients, and of course alcohol – yum :).

(TIP: Because alcohol is hard to freeze, make these pops a day or two in advance. Most of these recipes need at least 18 hours in the freezer before they are ready. The more alcohol in them, the less likely they’ll harden. Turn your freezer on high and you should be fine.)
