"strawberry margarita ice pops" news and stories

My partner Demián and I live in the desert in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This time of year the heat is rising and the humidity is heavy. Two of our favorite ways to cool off is to crank up the blender for frosty libations and to pull out the vintage Tupperware popsicle sets for adult ice pops.

Here are a few tips if you're going with a blender drink:

• People always fret over how much ice to use, but an easy way to figure it out is to simply build the drink in the glass you're going to use, then dump all of the ingredients with the ice into the blender. You'll wind up with a tiny bit extra that you can mound up at the top of the glass, making your drink look all pretty.

• For easier blending, add liquid, fruit chunks, and then the ice.
