Get ready for an evening full of fun! If food and drinks aren’t your thing, you may want to skip this post. When I’m not traveling, I’m usually doing one of three things: napping, eating, or dreaming about my next meal. During one of those daydreams, I remembered a Halloween party we held where Yaya made some potent vodka jelly shots. This got me thinking about the concept of ‘solid cocktails.’ It might sound a bit strange, but trust me, it’s actually a lot simpler than it sounds.
So, what are solid cocktails? They’re basically cocktail popsicles—perfect for a summer gathering. They’re cool, refreshing, and sure to put you and your friends in a festive mood!
Wondering what you need to get started? Here’s the list:
1. Popsicle molds and sticks—these are your key tools for crafting your cocktail popsicles.
2. Choose from one of the cocktail recipes listed below. Ideally one that’s ‘alamakaholic’—a playful twist on the word ‘alcoholic’ that a friend of mine uses, and now I can’t stop saying it.
Making these is simple: just mix up your ingredients, pour them into the molds, and soon you’ll have a treat to amaze your friends at your next BBQ party!
Here’s a quick rundown of the available options:
1. Pina Colada
2. Strawberry Daiquiri
3. White Wine Sangria
4. Mojito
5. Strawberry Mint – think of it as a sweet blend of a strawberry daiquiri and a mojito! You can make it non-alcoholic, or spice it up with rum, gin, tequila—whatever suits your taste.
Now it’s your turn: if you were to create an ‘alamakaholic’ popsicle, what cocktail would you choose? What’s your favorite?
