Our weekend was pretty mellow and predictable.  Lots of grilling, household chores, working, and a touch of relaxation accompanied by popcorn and the couch.  While it wasn’t the beach, I can’t complain.  😉

Anyways, today is a very special day.

Why?  Well, for a couple reasons.

Notes, Tips & Tricks for the best Raspberry Gin Fizz Boozy Popsicles recipe:

1. The recipe below will yield roughly 14 popsicles, but it depends on the size of your mold and how many fresh raspberries you add. I used a 6 ounce container of raspberries in the entire recipe below, including the simple syrup and the actual popsicles.  You can definitely add more fresh raspberries to your molds if you would like, which will yield more popsicles.  The world is your oyster, so by all means, add fresh raspberries to your hearts content.
2. I like to let my popsicles sit in the freezer for one hour before I add the sticks. I find this helps the sticks stand up straight versus lopsided.
3. If you have a hard time removing the popsicles from the mold, run the mold under warm water for 30 seconds or so. I have this mold, and never have a problem, but should your popsicle mold give you trouble, just give it the warm water treatment.

Join me in celebrating the official start of summer and #Popsicleweek with these boozy, rad Raspberry Gin Fizz Boozy Popsicles.  And don’t forget to enter the giveaway below!  Until Thursday friends, cheers – to Poptails!
