Classic Sangria Ice Pop
- 1/2 apple, diced
- 1 cups red wine
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 fl oz brandy
-
12 grapes, halved
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the apple, wine, orange juice, and brandy and blend until smooth.
- Place 2 grape halves in each ice pop mold.
- Pour the mixture into the ice pop molds, seal with the lids, and add the ice pop sticks.
- Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Berry Sangria Cream Poptail
- 1 cups fresh mixed berries
- 1/4 cup red wine
- 1 fl oz simple syrup (I substitute with 1 fl oz liquid honey)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (I use dairy-free heavy cream)
Instructions
- Puree the berries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Combine the berry puree with the other ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Pour equal amounts into molds and freeze.
Blueberry Basil Martini Ice Pops
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 & 1/2 cups loosely packed basil leaves
- 4 cups fresh blueberries, I actually did not have enough fresh berries so supplemented with some frozen ones and it was fine
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup vodka
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and water together in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat just until the sugar dissolves. Add the basil and stir. Remove from heat, cover and let cool to room temperature.
- Strain to remove the basil.
- Puree the blueberries, lemon juice and basil syrup in a blender or food processor.
- Strain the mixture through a strainer and mash the solids with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids (I like the solids so did not strain mine...it's all about personal preference).
- Whisk in the vodka.
- Fill your popsicle molds leaving 1/4" at the top, add the ice pop top, and freeze overnight.
Enjoy!
