Adult Popsicles: Frozen Boozy Treats

For this month's Recipe Redux, we were inspired to create new frozen treats. There was nothing I wanted to do more in this Texas heat! I've seen some alcoholic Popsicle recipes floating around the interweb, and decided to try my own. I had significant doubts that the alcohol would actually freeze, but by limiting the amounts they become frozen delights.

Cape Codder-with a twist
Everyone knows the classic cocktail of cranberry juice, vodka, with a squeeze of lime. I had cranberry vodka, courtesy of Amanda Milad, in my freezer, and decided to switch this cocktail up a bit. Triple 8 vodka in Nantucket also makes a fabulous infused cranberry vodka. This helped cure some New England home-sickness!

• 0.5 oz Cranberry Vodka
• 2 oz water
• Juice of 1 lime
• Liquid NuNaturals Stevia to taste

Mix together. Freeze. Makes 1 popsicle

Dark Chocolate Bourbon Delights
This recipe was in Fine Cooking (August/September 2009) and I had to try it! I changed a couple things, but the results were spectacular!

4 oz 100% Unsweetened chocolate bar
2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp stevia
a pinch of salt
Stir til melted. Let cool. add
2 TableSpoon Maker's Mark

Pour into 4 8-oz popsicle molds. Freeze and Enjoy!!


**and please eat responsibly ;) **
