Meet the Jello-O Shot’s cooler cousin: Strawberry Margarita Ice Pops. Fresh-flavored and frosty, these lickable cocktails on a stick are my solution to beating the heat. And with summer at a rolling boil in New York City, I can’t help but want to steer clear of anything involving an oven and/or an open flame.

I used flat popsicle molds, and poured any leftovers into shot glasses. Ten minutes into the freezing process, add a popsicle stick to the glasses to make mini-pops (and for mini-pops for mini-hands, just leave out the alcohol). You could also easily adapt this recipe by including pineapple or blueberries in the fresh fruit mix.

Get ’em while it’s hot … or be forced lucky enough to lick up the leftovers.
