For those days when the heat is unbearable, try an adult ice pop! With the cooling flavors of mint and cucumber, these popsicles are a great way to have batched cocktails ready-to-roll in the freezer.

Ingredients:
1 oz Cucumber Mint Syrup**
.5 oz Lime Juice
1.5 oz Local Gin
Northwoods “The Squeeze” Lime Mint Soda
Cucumber Ribbon Garnish
Popsicle mold

Method:
To make these popsicles, start by prepping your popsicle mold. Create cucumber ribbons by peeling strips lengthwise from a local cucumber. Then, cut three or four small slots in the middle of your ribbon to weave it on to your popsicle stick. Place one popsicle stick with a cucumber ribbon in each compartment of your popsicle mold.

Then shake or stir your cucumber mint syrup, lime juice, local gin (I recommend Ethanology’s or Le Cheneaux Distillers), and 2 ounces of Northwoods Mint Lime Soda. Add to your popsicle mold using a funnel, and freeze overnight. If you have trouble releasing the pops, let sit in a lukewarm water bath for 30 seconds to a minute. Enjoy!

**I made my cucumber mint syrup by steeping some sliced cucumbers and massaged mint leaves (to help release their oils) in an equal parts sugar-to-water simple syrup, and then sending through a fine mesh strainer after an hour or two.
