For this long holiday weekend, you could plan the same old barbecue with beer and brats.

Or you could put a sophisticated spin on grownup summer refreshments, with these alcoholic popsicles.

How does a popsicle made of Bellini sound, with Prosecco and fresh summer peaches?

Or, a bittersweet chocolate pop with bourbon in it? Maybe a lemon-cream vodka pop? We thought so.

First, you need some really cute popsicle molds. These designs below are all available online, and Target carries some too.

•   Groovy Pop Mold (as pictured in our popsicle photos. In stock at Amazon now!)

•   Rocket Freezer Pop Mold

•   Jewel Pop Mold

Then, read this Fine Cooking article “Cold Comfort” all about making adult popsicles. (We love the idea of serving each one in a martini glass to catch drips.)

The recipes are simple, and yet your guests will be absolutely delighted when you pull these from the freezer.
