Your favorite summer cocktail just got a makeover! These Mojito Popsicles are full of sweet mint flavor with a hint of lime and a punch of rum!
There is nothing better than indulging in a cold treat on a hot summer day. But is it just me, or are popsicles usually reserved for kids? I’m here to fix that today with these fun mojito popsicles.
They have everything you love about mojitos – vibrant mint flavor, tart lime, and of course rum. You can’t have a mojito without the rum. These popsicles take very little prep time and are shockingly easy. Just mix everything together and pour it into the popsicle molds, then pop it into the freezer. Get yourself a snack or a cold drink and hang out by the pool. In a few hours, poof! You have a tasty, frozen – adult – treat to enjoy in the sun.
I like to add a few mint sprigs to the popsicle molds when I pour in the mixture. I think it makes them look a little fancy, but this is totally optional. And if you really want to, you can also make these kid friendly by using rum extract instead of actual rum!
