Bloody Mary Popsicles

by

Summertime from the adult’s perspective can be a bit bleak. As the sun shines through the window, the weather beckons us to come outside and play. Unfortunately we are stuck inside an air-conditioned office, sitting at our desks being “responsible,” longing for the days when we were carefree kids with two months of sleeping in, summer camps, and playing with our friends. Adulthood can be cruel, can it not? It’s probably why I had to create a recipe us adults could stand behind and be proud of: Bloody Mary Popsicles!

These adult Bloody Mary popsicles are a dream for the perfect brunch-inspired frozen treat.

Though this is no reason to be to depressed. As we have grown to understand, we always have the capability of controlling our own happiness. And right now, happiness is coming in the form of a popsicle filled with alcohol. How age and weather appropriate indeed! The thought then hit me the other day, “What would happen if I put my favorite adult beverage into popsicle form??” You know what I found? Heaven, that’s what. Make these Bloody Mary popsicles tonight!

    these look super fun! i’m more of a caesar gal than a bloody mary gal, but i think those are pretty canadian. in any event, they’re not vegan so i haven’t had a ‘true’ caesar in years and it’s been months since having even a veganized boozy one at that! hahaha. i’m with you & shira on the tonic slushies though! talk about thirst quenching 😉

      I’ve never heard of a Caesar–looking it up now 😉 Bummer that you cannot partake in one of these pops…at least for several more months! CONGRATS girl!! How exciting–so happy for you 🙂

    So great! I am a huuuge fan of bloody mary’s! This post made me thing of all the other booze varieties that would be good in popsicle form. I’m thinking sangria 🙂 I wish I had popsicle molds so I could attempt this!

    I just got push-up popsicle molds and am now envisioning a push-up cocktail. THAT does sound heavenly. Thanks for sharing! And I’m with you bloody mary’s are the bomb.

    Bloody Marys? Too Too Tomato. I’m with Abby. Throw some Vodka (potato, of course) into a blender with some coconut cream, pineapple and lime and whatever doesn’t go directly down my gullet can go into my putative popsicle molds. They’re on my list of ‘Cara’s Toys I Do Not Own.’ No. They’re on the list of ‘Toys Cara PRETENDS to Own Just to Make Everyone Else Look Like a Freak.’ xoxoxoxoxoxoox
