A few months ago I shared a post with a couple of Spring Spritzer recipes. In one of the recipes I used Elderflower Liqueur, it was the first time I used it and it was so good! It was light and refreshing and not too sweet. I don’t like super sweet drinks of any kind and I loved the ones I made up for that post. Needless to say, I wanted to find a way to use it for entertaining that would be fun and refreshing this summer. Since adult ice pops are all the rage right now, I created this yummy boozy lemonade ice pop recipe for you.
I like the idea of making them ahead of time so when you have friends over for a last minute boat ride or bonfire this summer, you have something refreshing ready to offer them. I found the zipzicle bags really reasonably priced on Amazon, 100 for $13. The drink has vodka, Elderflower liqueur and lemonade. I used Country Time Lemonade. I think it is the best! For the complete recipe use the following:
Pour Country Time Drink Mix level with 2-quart line inside the cap and add cold water and ice to make 2 quarts (8 cups). After I mixed the lemonade, I then I dumped out two cups of the lemonade and set aside. I then replaced that same amount with the following portions. This made it so it froze but also had a better taste.
Add 1 1/2 cups of Tito’s Vodka or your choice
Add 1/2 cup of Elderflower Liqueur
Mix together and using a funnel to pour to the line on each zipzicle. Seal the zipzicle and place upright in freezer for 18-24 hours. When ready to serve, serve immediately or place in a cooler or bucket of ice.
We enjoyed these recently sitting around the pool. Our friends loved them. I am sure I’ll come up with some other easy recipes to use your zipzicles! They are fun and make entertaining easy for the summer! Enjoy!
