Hey'all! It's officially summer! And I'm on a quest to turn all of my favourite cocktails into frozen treats. Yes, even the virgins!

Not yet fully recovered from a week-long Summer No-Bake Party, I thought I'd stay the course and ring in the first day of Summer with these cool, dripping wet, peach-filled, frozen mocktails - Peach Bellini Popsicles! (is it me, or was that sentence a little long?)I am not much of a drinker, so when I am out with friends I tend to go for the girly drinks. One of my favourites is the Bellini served at Milestone - these are my super easy, frozen, virgin version. Two cans of Bellini mocktail, a vial of my secret potion, fresh cuts of peach (or nectarine), a popsicle mold, a freezer and you're set! They may not look like much - no fancy recipe or intricate decorations - but, to me, they're the perfect summer companion!

Speaking of summer... Wow, I can't believe a month has passed since I told you all about her pending visit. I mentioned then that I would welcome her with a batch of my Orange Blossom Macarons, but after travelling half way around the globe these Peach Bellini Popsicles seemed more fitting. Even Summer needs to chill out once in a while.

Popsicles conjure up such wonderful childhood memories for me. A rainbow of sweet, sticky, stains on tongue, lips, hands, clothes - a distraction from the occasional frozen brain and converging army of ants. Ahhh, to be five and care-free...

How about you? What childhood summer treat takes you right back in time?

So back to my quest. Each Friday over the next few weeks of summer's visit, I will share with you a recipe for a cocktail turned frozen treat. All to be included in my personal Blurb recipe book that I am working on.I first used Blurb a few years back when I pulled together a number of K's paintings and artwork and published them for his birthday. He was beside himself when I presented it. I have since made him a couple more and have also done a few other family books; my most recent being a photo account of my youngest niece's first year.

I'm a huge fan of Blurb and so pleased to see that they also have a Canadian site, eh! So, I recently joined their affiliate program. And through the program, YOU can Make Your Own Blurb Cookbook and save 15%! Picture all your lovely family recipes all in one beautiful book - for yourself, or as a gift! Who knows... could become a family heirloom!

Please know that, with the exception of the link to the deal in the paragraph above, this post, and all my posts, are written in my words only. I 've used Blurb long before I started this blog and continue to use them, as I find they make a great product. Anyone who has received one of my books will agree.

So grab a few of these Peach Bellini Popsicles, or these Lychee Lime Coconut Pops and join me in welcoming summer! Cheers!

Prep Time: 6

Total Time: 6

Course: Dessert

Servings:

Author: I Sugar Coat It

Ingredients

500 ml Peach Bellini Mocktail
30 ml Non-alcoholic Mango Margherita Mix optional
1 small peach or nectarine
1 popsicle mold

Instructions

Open the mocktails and let them sit in the fridge for about 15 minutes to allow the drink to flatten a bit. This will prevent the popsicles from overflowing in the freezer (trust me!).
Add the mango mix to the mocktail and pour into popsicle mold.
Insert thinly sliced pieces of peach into the mold and then insert the sticks.
Freeze for at least three hours and enjoy!!
