The warm summer days are upon us, and to help you fully enjoy the best time of the year, we’re sharing this glamorous summer trend: Champagne Popsicles – ice-cold champagne with fresh fruit on a stick. Here’s how you can easily make this luxurious treat at home.
Ingredients for 8 servings:
-
400 ml champagne
-
20 ml goji berry liqueur
-
20 ml Cointreau (liqueur)
-
150 g mixed berries
-
1 tbsp goji berries
-
16 small mint leaves
-
Crushed ice
-
Extra berries and mint leaves for garnish
-
Ice pop molds with 8 cavities
-
8 wooden ice sticks
One advantage of making them yourself: You can fill the champagne popsicles with all your favorite fruits – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, blackberries, and more.
Tip: For a perfect summer vibe, use a sparkling, fruity rosé champagne with the flavor of ripe berries.
Step 1:
Pour some boiling water over the goji berries and let them soak for about 5 minutes, then drain. Fill the ice molds with a mixture of berries, goji berries, and mint leaves.
Step 2:
Pour the (rosé) champagne, goji berry liqueur, and Cointreau into a large jug and stir well. Pour the mixture into the ice molds.
Step 3:
Close the molds and insert the ice sticks. Place them in the freezer overnight, or until completely frozen.
Step 4:
Run some warm water over the molds to make it easier to remove the popsicles. Serve the “cocktails on a stick” on a large tray with crushed ice, and garnish with mint leaves and berries – done!
Perfect for a girls’ night on the balcony or the next garden party. Treat yourself to a little luxury!
