Strawberry Peach Vodka Collins Popsicles

Makes: 12 2.5 oz Popsicles

Ingredients:

• 6 oz pureed strawberry (about 10 strawberries)
• 2 oz peach syrup (recipe follows)
• 12 oz tonic water
• 2 oz plus 3 oz vodka (divided use)

Directions:

1. Stir strawberry puree with 2 oz. of vodka. Place three teaspoons of strawberry mixture in the bottom of popsicle form; set aside. (As mentioned in last week’s cocktail popsicle, I used cordial glasses, but any form will work.)
2. Stir peach syrup with tonic water stir to combine. Add vodka and stir to combine.
3. Pour peach and vodka mixture over strawberry mixture and stir to combine.
4. Freeze for about 2 hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright. Insert popsicle sticks and finish freezing popsicles overnight. To release popsicles run hot water on the outside of popsicle molds for a 2-3 seconds.
