Okay, let’s get the food business out of the way, I have a little rant today. This week’s cocktail popsicle is built on a tequila’d base honeydew body that’s mixed with ginger beer and softly stirred with a raspberry cassis syrup that turns the classic Diablo into a summer sweet cocktail popsicle.
Melon Berry Diablo
Now the rant: There are such things as open-ended answers, but there should not be open ended opinions—especially when it comes to my food. You like it, you don’t—here’s why and there you have it, end of story. I don’t mind if people don’t like something, but—back. it. up. No sucker punches please.
The other day a co-worker told me my cocktail popsicles were interesting. Interesting? Interesting, like James Bond style interesting or ambivalent interesting?
All snark aside, I’m welcome criticism I just like it qualified. Otherwise I will have to insist that you actually try one my cocktail popsicle and then we can chat between licks.
Hit the jump to grab the Melon Berry Diablo recipe.
Welcome to my cozy corner where baking meets random thoughts and musings. I’m a self-taught baker sharing all things sweet (and some savory—okay, and cocktails) with a whisk in one hand and a camera in the other. 
I hate it when people say, “interesting”. They should just say that’s amazing, good, okay, fair, poor, or awful. Interesting gives me so little to work with! These look perfect for a summer evening!
I LOVE THIS! You rock!
My guess is that she’s/he’s probably jealous, or just plain doesn’t appreciate food!! Because they’re always fantastic and SO creative.
I adore these colors. And yeah… ‘interesting’ isn’t an appropriate description or response to something food related.
Wow, these are so pretty! Love the flavor!
A lovely pop!
Oh boy, this sounds awesome!
These sound amazing, Naomi! And I love “poptail.” I’m totally with you on the “interesting” issue–I would feel exactly the same way. I’d pretty much give anything for one of these right now! xo
