Bourbon and Honey Strawberry Mint Julep Popsicles

Frozen, boozy and super summery, these Bourbon and Honey spiked Strawberry Mint Julep Popsicles are going to be a keeper!

Let the count down begin, it’s almost derby day! I’ve never been to the Kentucky derby and I don’t own a giant floppy hat but I do know one thing, mint juleps are awesome. How could an ultra boozy adult slushy ever be a bad thing? But, this isn’t just a boozy slushy though, it’s the ultimate adult popsicle!

These frozen pops start with a minty, sweet, strawberry and honey mixture then they get a healthy dose of bourbon! The base is sort of like the simple syrup part of the traditional mint julep and made even more sweet and fruity with strawberry.

The high bourbon content makes these tasty strawberry mint julep popsicles (awesome! and…) a little quicker to melt so serve them up in a julep cup. If it starts to melt on you… eat it faster, just watch out for the brain freeze!
