---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mojitos + Popcicles : These are two of my fav-or-ite things!Makes 24 two-ounce ice cube-tray pops, six 8-ounce pops, or eight 6-ounce pops (Note: Or make six popsicles and three nice sized mojitos to share while you’re waiting for the pops to freeze).
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (approx. 8 limes)2 1/2 cups Club Soda1/3 cup fresh mint leaves1 lemon, peeled and cut into wedges3 limes, peeled and cut into wedges1 1/2 cups sugar4 tablespoons light rum
Pour the lime juice, club soda, and 1 cup water into a pitcher and let sit for 5 minutes.Add the mint, lemon and lime wedges, sugar, and rum to the pitcher. Mash all of the ingredients together with a muddler or a wooden spoon.Pour into pop molds, being sure to distribute the fruits and mint evenly among the molds. Insert the sticks. Freeze for at least 12 hours. Remove from the freezer; let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before removing the pops from the molds.(credit: Erin Cooks)
