Ingredients

Mint Simple Syrup

½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large bunch fresh mint

Peach Julep Popsicles

10 oz. peaches fresh or frozen
2 ½ oz. bourbon
mint simple syrup recipe above

Instructions

Make the Mint Simple Syrup

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar has completely dissolved into the water.
Remove from the heat, and add the mint.
Let the ingredients steep for 30 minutes, then strain and set aside.

Make the Popsicles

In the base of a blender, combine the peaches, bourbon and mint simple syrup.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into popsicle molds, then freeze overnight (or until frozen solid.)
Serve cold, and enjoy all summer long!

Notes

Do not add additional alcohol to the popsicles. I know it’s tempting, but in my first attempt at this recipe, I added 4 oz. of bourbon. Every popsicle broke when I tried to pull them out of the molds because they were a slush consistency.
