Popsicles are the ultimate summer treat — sometimes you just need a sugar high. Alas, our unopened box of popsicle molds has been collecting dust for an embarrassingly long time. After two long, popsicle-less summers, we finally found some inspopration. We were gifted some beautiful copper cups for Moscow Mules, and in searching for an updated recipe we came across the idea for Moscow Mule popsicles. The ginger is unexpected and fresh, and the pops are just slightly effervescent, making them extra fun to eat. If you slice limes into the popsicles, the flavor comes through strongly and they end up tasting a bit more like margaritas. Bottoms up!
