Summer Sunset Slushies – Adult Freeze Pops
A great way to beat the heat of summer with family and friends are Sunset Summer Slushies, Adult Freeze Pops. My sister and I made these on a hot day in July. They were so much fun to make. We loved coming up with different combinations to experiment with, it felt like we were in a science lab. Summer Sunset Slushies I came up with the name Summer Sunset Slushies because the colors of the freeze pops remind me of a summer sunset in the Midwest. We picked some of our favorite drinks, some with the alcohol already in it and others that we added soda and vodka to. That…
