do you know how it is...there is this project you want to do since ages...and when you finally get the chance to beginn with this project, you are so excited...and...you screw it all up.
this is what happened to me...poptails, such a beautiful idea...boozy or virgin...i needed to make some...i guess since about two years by now...finally i got all the ingredients, a variety of popsicle molds and the time...i started washing, chopping, pouring, mixing, blending and pouring again.
...the only thing, i needed to do was the freezing part...omg...not enough space in my freezer...damn...it did not see that one coming.
...holding my popsicles molds in one hand and trying to rearrange my freezer drawers with the other hand, without accidently defrosting my freezer...quite challenging.
the results are not the best...but they taste so much better than they look...and the idea is still great.
if you are more into the virgin version of the cocktails, you can easily just leave out the alcohol or replace it with ginger ale or soda water.
