3 Mimosa-Inspired Popsicles You Need to Try This Summer

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at U Chicago chapter.

This summer it won’t matter if you’re in sunny California or stuck in the humidity of New York because you’ll be able to enjoy one (or all) of these delicious popsicle flavors: classic mimosa, peach bellini, and mango-raspberry mimosa. I recommend listening to No Vacation’s Summer Break Mixtape while making these popsicles; ordering one mimosa at brunch shouldn’t cost more than $6.25 when you can make a bunch of these at home for less.

    Check out this spoon action – alternate two tablespoons mango and one tablespoon raspberry until the molds are full. Impressed? We can do that in real time too.

    Put the popsicle sticks in the molds and chill in the freezer for 5-6 hours (24 hours if you’re saving them for brunch the next day).
