Pimm's Pops

Three popsicles in tray on top of ice and sliced cucumbers

Pimm's Cups are refreshing summertime cocktails that go down easy on hot days. Why not take a classic Pimm's Cup... and transform it into a popsicle? Pimm's No. 1, ginger ale, lemon juice and agave nectar are blended together to create the base of these popsicles. The mixture is then poured into popsicle molds! Add a slice of cucumber once the pops begin firming up, and voila! You've got the perfect boozy popsicles for summer AND #popsicleweek!

Ingredients

Popsicles

16 oz. ginger ale at room temperature
4 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice at room temperature
3 oz. Pimm's No. 1
2 oz. agave nectar
English cucumber sliced

Lemon Zest Sugar Garnish

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Zest of one lemon

Instructions

In the base of a blender, measure in the ginger ale, lemon juice, Pimm's No. 1 and agave nectar. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, or the agave nectar will not blend into them as easily.
Blend the ingredients together until smooth.
Pour into popsicle molds, and transfer to the freezer.
After 1-2 hours, remove from the freezer and add the cucumber slices. You'll do this when the mixture is slushy, and the cucumbers can be pushed deeper into the popsicle. If this is done initially, the cucumbers will float and freeze near the top of the popsicle molds.
Freeze for an additional hour, then push the popsicle sticks into the pops. At this point, the sticks should not float and should stay in place.
Freeze overnight.
When the popsicles are solid, remove from the popsicle mold.
Combine the sugar and lemon zest, stirring until combined.
Sprinkle the Lemon Zest Sugar Garnish over the popsicles, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Please note that you will need to check on the popsicles twice throughout their freezing process. Once to add the cucumbers, then again to add the popsicle sticks. Every freezer is different, so please be aware and check your popsicles for the correct consistency to complete these steps.
