Popsicles!

Jason is a fan of the red, orange, and purple twin-pops, but I kinda prefer homemade ones. Last month I bought a set of Tovolo Star Ice Pop Molds and they've been a great investment! (The size/shape of the base isn't very convenient for fitting into the freezer, though. But the popsicles themselves are a perfect size.)

So far I've mostly done blends with watermelon since one watermelon makes a lot of watermelon lemonade and popsicles. The last ones were watermelon blended with some fresh-squeezed orange juice, water, a tablespoon of powdered sugar, and a shot of tequila. :)  Also I made fudgesicles with leftover chocolate pudding. Now I'm ready to branch out into other flavors. Mango, for one, but any other ideas?

  2. PS - i need to get the recipe sometime for that drink you made for my bachelorette party. I think that would be good popsicle material too...
