ROOT Mint Julep Boozy Popsicles

What’s more fun than a spiked popsicle? It’s hard to think of something. These ROOT Mint Julep pops are perfect for a summer cool down.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup demerara sugar
• 1 cup mint
• 1/3 cup bourbon

Directions

1. Add sugar and water to a medium pot over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar completely dissolves.
2. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat and add in fresh mint. Lightly muddle the mint with a muddler or wooden spoon. Let this seep until the mixture has cooled to room temperature (about 45 minutes). Once it has cooled, strain through a fine mesh strainer.
3. Add in the ROOT and stir to combine. Then pour into your popsicle molds. Place this in the freezer and check back after 45 minutes (or longer depending on the temperature of your freezer) and add in the popsicle sticks. Keep in the freezer until frozen solid.
