I wish I had a separate freezer that I could dedicate to frozen treats.
Or maybe an ice cream cart right in my living room? Umbrella and all.
Sounds completely normal.I had to do some major freezer reorganizing last week- not due to popsicle excess (I wish!), but because we bought a 1/4 cow and that baby needed some space. I took out all of our ice packs, the ice cream machine insert, some old freezer burned stuff and a bag of frozen raspberries.As you can guess, those raspberries turned into popsicles and went right back into the freezer.
What can I say? I needed a reward for my hard work.

All I did for these pops was spin up the frozen raspberries in a food processor with a banana and a little bit of honey. You can add a bit of yogurt, too, if you like. We ate some of it straight out of the food processor- it was like sorbet and completely divine. So if you want to forgo the popsicle process all together, I don’t blame you. Why wait?
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go google “living room ice cream cart” and “gourmet popsicle freezer.”

Long day at work? Rough day with the kids? Hot outside? Just really need a drink?
These little margaritas are just the ticket.
Good, cold, relaxing things come in small, glass, ready-made packages.
I love this recipe! I love that you can make these hours, days or even weeks ahead of your next big party. I love that they are ready to drink just minutes after you pull them out of the freezer. And I really love that I have a few single serve margaritas left waiting for the next time a margarita mood strikes. No need to pull out the blender for just one drink. And no awkward shouting to your guests over a loud blender while you’re entertaining. Bonus!
 Do not be fooled by their size- these margaritas pack a punch! Feel free to reduce the amount of alcohol to your liking- there’s around a shot and a half in each of these drinks (10 oz total alcohol goes into 6-7 drinks).
My Cinco de Mayo guests enjoyed the mango and raspberry flavors, but I am dying to try out some other fresh fruit combinations. I’m thinking blackberry, watermelon, blood orange.. almost any fruit will do. This recipe is great for big groups and for small groups- you can easily multiply it and freeze ahead for a crowd; or you can make a batch for one or two people, drink a few fresh, and then freeze the rest for later.
Give yourself a break and add this to your list of must-make summer drinks.
