Why so many boozy pops? Because, my friends, if I sit on my deck with a cocktail in one hand and a baby in the other, the neighbors might judge. However, if I sit on the deck with a popsicle in one hand and a baby in my lap, no one judges. They think, 'hey, she's enjoying a delicious coconut popsicle', when really, I'm enjoying a Boozy Horchata Pop. In this case, I look like I'm enjoying a grape popsicle, but what I'm actually eating is approximately 13.5 times better--a hibiscus margarita on a stick. Oh Lordy.
I've been into hibiscus since before Starbucks made it so popular with their Passion tea. My roommate in college was from Mexico, and she would make tall pitchers of what she called 'agua de jaimaica'.
So, a hibiscus margarita would have um, hibiscus tea, lime, triple sec, and tequila. We have all that here, except with an alcohol level that won't prevent freezing. That is a nice way of saying don't melt these and expect a buzz. You can still rub them with a lime and dip them in salt, like you would a margarita, though. I think that's fair.
So, cheers to deck drinking sans judgement!

First of all that photo is gorgeous! I am so with you on sitting on the back porch with a boozy pop (although all my children are gone - so no worries there!) I would love it if you would link this up to Tipsy Tuesday at Grey is the New Black!

The color of these = to die for. And the boozy-ness. Well you know how I feel about that. XO

I'm going to enjoy these at my next backyard bbq, in between shots of tequila, so that my neighbors will think, hey, look at him, pacing himself with those refreshing looking pops.
