Have your booze and eat it, too. It’s cold outside in New York, but if it were sunny and warm and we were planning a party, these would be on the menu. We’d call them tipsy popsicles—they tipped right into our glasses of prosecco, whaddya know.

We pinned this image from Southern Living a long time ago and forgot about it (for shame!). With summer on its way—and wine week in full swing—we thought it was a fun, inspirational reminder that kid desserts and adult beverages can make a nice marriage.

Plus, how colorful and pretty do the glasses look all lined up on a tray? Obviously as the popsicles begin to melt, it might get a little messy. But if you buy fancy, natural fruit pops, these drinks almost become like bellinis as they sit.

And not that you need a recipe, but here’s the link to the full story:
