Homemade Patriotic Ice Pops are a delightful and effortless way to celebrate summer holidays with your kids. Not only are they enjoyable to make, but they are also a treat to devour!
To whip up these red, white, and blue goodies, you'll only need three ingredients: cranberry juice, lemonade, and a blue sports drink like Gatorade. Additionally, gather some paper cups and wooden sticks, with small Dixie cups being the ideal size for these pops.
Let's get started! Follow these simple steps:
1. Pour cranberry juice into each cup, filling it approximately one-third full. Place the cups in the freezer for about an hour.
2. After an hour, remove the cups from the freezer and carefully insert wooden sticks into the partially frozen popsicles. Proceed to fill the next third of each cup with lemonade.
3. Return the cups to the freezer and let them freeze for another hour. Once the lemonade layer is solidified, top off each cup with the blue Gatorade, filling it to the brim.
4. Place the cups back in the freezer for a final freeze until the popsicles are completely solidified.
5. When fully frozen, gently peel away the paper cups from the ice pops, revealing the colorful treats ready to be savored!
These Patriotic Ice Pops are not only refreshing, cool, and sweet, but they are also bound to be a hit at your summer celebrations or any day when you're craving a delightful frozen treat!
Enjoy the festivities and these delicious homemade ice pops!
