youDRESSED Redaktion

On hot summer days there is nothing better than a cool refreshment. Whether a swim in the pool, a refreshing ice cream or a cold drink – there are many ways to make the heat bearable. We’ve found the ultimate combination of refreshment options and it’s called popsticle cocktails!

Now you can enjoy Bellini, Lillet and Co. in the form of water ice. You simply freeze your favourite drink and can enjoy it a few hours later. The most tipsy ice cream becomes a real eye-catcher when you freeze limes or mint with it – it looks great and adds a certain summery touch.

The so-called poptails are easily and quickly prepared and are addictive. But be careful: if you try the following recipes, your favorite ice cream will have real competition! All you need are ice cups and your favourite drink.
