Kiwi Sangria Popsicles

The championship of the Southern Living journal article from which I adapted these popsicles was "Serve a Cocktail on a Stick" ... ummmmmm, okay! You actually don't require to twist my arm on that one.

And since these bring kiwi inwards them, I decided they were simply perfect to give a whirl for this month's installment of the Eating the Alphabet challenge - letters K or L. The master copy recipe was for white peach sangria pops, alongside a picayune splash of kiwi in addition to raspberry ... I decided to change it upwards to endure simply kiwi with a touching on of raspberry. I intend yous could seat inwards simply virtually whatever fruit you'd like!

Remember these cute picayune Dixie newspaper cups? That's what you'll require to whip upwards these popsicles.

First mix up about white wine, white grape juice, sugar, in addition to fresh lemon juice ... in addition to pour it into the cute picayune cups.

Then driblet inwards a raspberry in addition to about kiwi.

(Optional)
Next, acquire inquisitive virtually the wine-and-fruit combination ... give it a picayune taste ... produce upwards one's heed it tastes actually practiced ... in addition to serve upwards an un-frozen popsicle for the chef. You know, 'cause this cookin' stuff's petroleum in addition to the chef deserves it.

Then encompass each loving cup alongside a pocket-size while of aluminum foil in addition to brand a pocket-size slit inwards the oculus of the foil alongside a knife ...

... in addition to insert a popsicle stick through the slit.

You're fix for the freezer!

Now i large tip I tin give is to brand certain you've cleared a spot inwards your freezer to seat these before you're standing at that topographic point alongside the freezer door broad open, i mitt precariously holding a plate of liquid popsicles, in addition to one-handedly trying to rearrange the entire freezer contents.

I might bring learned that the difficult way.

When you're fix to enjoy your popsicles, simply pare off the newspaper loving cup in addition to savor away!

Mmmmm. Popsicles are all grown up.
