Strawberry Basil Lemonade Poptails

A light, tangy, refreshing summer treat

Prep Time 20 minutes
Freezing Time 4 hours
Servings 24 pops

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz can Old Orchard lemonade from concentrate prepared according to directions
  • handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 oz gin
  • 24 Zipzicle Zip-Top Ice Pop Pouches

Instructions

  1. In a large juice jug, prepare the lemonade from concentrate as per the package instructions. Add in basil leaves and let sit for 15 minutes. This will allow the lemonade to soak in the flavor of the basil leaves. 

  2. In a blender, pulse together strawberries, water and honey. Add in gin and pulse again. Combine gin mixture into the lemonade mixture and mix well. 

  3. Using a small funnel, slowly pour in poptail mixture into the zipzicle pouches.  Fill only up to the fill line. Repeat as necessary and freeze for 4 hours. 

Recipe Notes

  • For a stronger gin taste, add in 6oz+ of Gin. I wanted a subtle refreshing taste, but feel free to add as more or as little as you like! Or simply omit the gin!
  • This makes a great lemonade as well! No need to freeze it if you do not have popsicle molds. 
  • I used the Old Orchard can that was sweetened with Truvia.
