Cocktail Popsicle: 4th of July Cocktail Cooler

4th of July Cocktail Cooler Popsicles ~ Stay cool this weekend with some Uncle Sam-striped, cocktail-cooler popsicles.

To keep this kid friendly, just omit the alcohol and fun for all can be had on a stick! And what isn’t more fun on a stick?

Hit the jump over to Endless Simmer for my recipe write-up on this week’s cocktail popsicle.
