Coconut Blueberry Vodka Ice Pops | Nik Snacks
Summertime is just around the corner, and to celebrate, Susannah from Feast + West and Erin from The Speckled Palate are hosting the Great Blogger Barbecue! That's right: sizzle sizzle!
There’s no better way to kick off the summer than getting together with friends over food and drinks and these coconut blueberry vodka ice pops :) We’re inviting y’all to join in on the fun. We're bringing you 50 recipe ideas from cocktails and mocktails to casseroles and desserts. Scroll to the very bottom to see and clock on what everyone else is making!
Speaking of desserts, as soon as I was asked to participate in the BBQ, I knew I was doing these pops. It's nice to make stuff for the kids, but these are Adults Only.
My only problem: I didn't have molds. I went to Target and found some, but they were $12.99. About $8.99 more than I wanted to spend. I spent 2 days looking for them and all I needed to do was go to Marshall's. $6.99. Boom. Insert celebration dance here!
I used some of that very good sweet potato vodka in these little guys.
And fresh blueberries. I'm still into blueberries! I can't help it.
They're smooth, a little creamy and a great finish to a big, grilled holiday meal.
