Alcoholic drinks are needed to warm the body and soul. However, in the summer, the body does not need his services. Moreover, in order to properly serve the soul, cocktails at this time of year should not only be cold, but even frozen.
Melon popsicle
For 6 servings:
- 4.5 cups ripe melon, peeled and diced
- 5 table. melon liqueur
- 3 table. spoons of vodka
- 1, 5 table. tablespoons of fine sugar
- 6 popsicle freezer cups (80 ml each)
- 6 wooden popsicle sticks
Grind all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Then strain and pour the precious greenish liquid in equal portions into popsicle cups and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Of course, nothing more stupid than expectation is impossible to come up with, especially when it comes to popsicle. However, this is one of the rare occasions when the forced waiting will be rewarded. And even very much, if you have a really large freezer, and you make not six popsicles, but, for example, two hundred and sixty-four.

- 3.5 cups pineapple, peeled and diced

By the way, if you want the same thing to happen to you in the morning, you can follow the recipe of the main connoisseur of all time - Hemingway - and double the rum content.
