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.

First of all, today is my friend Megan’s 100th post.  You might know Megan from her blog The Emotional Baker, she is pretty fabulous and posts amazing treats that make me salivate.  Like these Cashew Butter Cookie Dough Stuffed Oreos, for example.  See, totally fabulous.

To celebrate, a few (15 to be exact) food bloggers and I are partaking in a giveaway to salute Megan and all her 100 posts of blogging glory.  So be sure you scroll all the way down, past the recipe and enter to win a Amazon Gift Card or a Baking Tools Prize Pack!Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-12Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-20On top of the terrific giveaway, today also happens to mark the beginning of #Popsicleweek.  An entire week dedicated to popsicles!!

Did you faint with excitement?  I know I personally have a napkin tucked into the front of my shirt, ready to eat ALL the popsicles in ALL the flavors.  Sticky hands be damned.  Be sure to popsicle party it up with us and follow along on social media with the hashtag #Popsicleweek.

Soooo, to celebrate Megan and #Popsicleweek, I have a special treat for you guys – Poptails.  <– Popsicle meets cocktail. Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-25 Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-14Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles

These boozy popsicles are all sorts of awesome and perfect for summer, friends.  I mean, a cocktail in frozen popsicle form?  Yaaaahs.  All day long, Yes.Yes.Yaaaaaaaahhss!

These pops are icy cold, refreshing, fruity and sweet with a hint of mint, a boozy gin touch, and pops of whole, fabulously fresh raspberries.

Obviously they are spectacular in the taste department, but they are pretty to boot!  Don’t you just love the transparent pink color with the fuchsia raspberries peeking through?  Swoon!

These poptails are definitely worthy of a celebration a two.  😉Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-27 Raspberry Gin Fizz Popsicles - Poptails-55The Notes:

  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.
