Peach Sangria Popsicles

When you think of a popsicle you may not necessarily think of one that has alcohol in it, but I did when I woke up this morning. (ha, totally normal) I am sure a lot of you are detoxing from this weekends festivities of bbq’d food and your favorite drinks…but come on…it’s a short week and we must prepare for the next HOT summer weekend in a few days. We must take full advantage!

Hopefully once you get back to the lake your heel prints are still dug in the sand and you find yourself with a sangria popsicle in hand.

Cheers my friends!

 

Peach Sangria Popsicles 

(makes about 10 popsicles)

~ 3 peaches divided

~ 1 orange, peeled and chopped

~ 1 tablespoon sugar

~ 1 cup red or white wine (or both), plus 1 tablespoon

~ 3 tablespoons peach schnapps

Pit and thinly slice 1 peach. Add to a bowl with the orange, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of wine. Stir together gently (avoid smashing or bruising the fruit.)  Let stand about 20 minutes.

Peel, pit, and coarsely chop the remaining 2 peaches. Combine in a blender or food processor with the remaining 1 cup of white wine and the peach schnapps. Puree until smooth.

Pour the peach puree mixture into popsicle molds, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.  Add a few peach slices and raspberries to each mold. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until fully set, at least a few hours. Find your way back out to the water and enjoy your boozy popsicle.
