Strawberry Grapefruit Poptail

August 16, 2013

What do you get when you combine a popsicle and a cocktail? A poptail!

Strawberry Grapefruit Vodka

When Pintrest first became the “hot thing” there was this image of a Corona Popsicle that kept popping up… eventually I just had to make it for myself… and was pretty bummed that they didn’t taste as great as they looked (what did I expect… I don’t even like beer that much to begin with!). So… when I came across this amazing line-up of “adult popsicles” I was pretty excited to give another recipe a try!
