Adults selling boozy lemonade popsicles on the side of the road: GENIUS.

According to Supercall, FrutaPOP is doing it.

Every Friday this summer, FrutaPOP will be hosting a popsicle pop up at the Garden Bar at Pergola in NYC. The pop up offers Petal Poptails (get it?!) made with Ito’s vodka, elderflower and lemonade.

If you’re not into buying stuff off the side of the road, you can order the FrutaPOPs online and get them deliver to your belly in no time. Plus, you’ll have a wider variety of flavors to choose from, like Sangria, Guava Cosmo, and Pina Colada.

January calls for frozen booze, duh

Cocktails / January 3, 2015 / No Comments.

January. Bleak, cold, thankless January.

Ugh.

While we wind down from the hype and merriment of the holiday season, it’s important not to lose the pep in our steps. Depending on where you call home, these next few months can be some of the longest, most humdrum months there are. We’ll try to keep it interesting so that, even though it may be glacial outside, you can stay warm on the inside.

However, not to immediately contradict ourselves, today we bring you some frozen, yet delicious, boozy treats. Slurp down a few of these and you’ll be sure to warm up.

Frozen ‘Mosas

Acquire popsicle molds. Mix together 2 oz. of champagne and 8 oz. of orange juice, and use the mixture to fill each mold 1/3 of the way full. Let the mixtures almost freeze, before placing a popsicle stick in each mold, and filling the final 2/3 with a mixture of orange juice and cut up strawberries. Finish freezing them (overnight), and enjoy.
