If you live in the NYC area, you have been melting for almost a month now. It has been one heatwave after another and everyone is just plain tired of being hot. After watching my 3 boys go from hot to happy after slurping on ice pops yesterday, I set out to find a version for us big kids and I found it!
So in place of my usually Friday’s Featured cocktail, I am posting the recipe below from Gourmet.com for a delicious cocktail that’s not just cool, it’s ICY. I hope you enjoy no matter where you live, cheers! To check out more cocktail ice pop recipes from Gourmet.com visit>
