Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2/3 cup water
- 6 tbsp sugar (divided by the 3 layers)
- 1 cup of vodka (divided by the 3 layers)
- Red and blue food coloring
Instructions
- Using a blender, blend the strawberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/3 cup of vodka until smooth. Add a few drops of red food coloring to amp up the red color and blend for another few seconds. Divide the mixture into 6 popsicle molds going about one third up and freeze for 1-2 hours or until the layer is set enough to pour another layer on top.
- While the first layer is freezing, prepare the other two layers. For the middle or white lemon ice layer, mix the lemon juice, water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/3 cup vodka together in a liquid measuring up. Set aside.
- For the final layer, blend the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/3 cup vodka until smooth. Again, add a few drops of blue food coloring to amp the blue up otherwise it will be more of a dark purple.
- Once the strawberry red layer is set enough, divide the lemon ice layer between the 6 molds going up another third. Freeze again for 1-2 hours or until just set enough to pour the final layer on top.
- Once the second later is set enough, pour your final blueberry layer on top. Top the mold with the lid fitted with a popsicle stick or insert a wooden popsicle stick. Freeze again for 2 hours.
- Unmold using a little warm water if difficult and serve responsibly!
