5 O’Clock Fridays: Watermelon Mint Margarita Popsicles

By Brooke Hamroff at Spoon University

Yo, peeps. It’s me, Todd Kraines. JK, it’s Brooke and I’m back to get you wastey at the best time of the day: 5:00 on a Friday. Many a Corona in, I took a cute ass melon and turned it into a frozen treat that got me drunk enough to say “dick” upwards of 15 times in an hour. Which is the only way to kickstart your weekend.

These icey sticks have specs of mint to keep you fre$h and clean while the tequila (aka tequoilaaa) turns you up. They only take a few minutes to whip up and then you can pop ’em in the freezer until you’re ready to lick it like a lollipop.

But don’t take it from me. I’m just here getting slop-sicle off my popsicles. Go ahead and give them a try. They’ll make you wanna lick da wrapper/rapper (if you have famous music friends).

#SpoonTip: The watermelon slices will be used to keep your popsicle stick in place. Nobody wants a side boney.
