I recently purchased some ice lolly molds with the intention of making some healthy summer treats for my kid but it got me thinking about all the refreshing adult cocktails one could make. It's been a fun research project- these are the best fuss free recipes I could find.

LIMONCELLO ICE POPS

1 1/2 cups sugar 2 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 9 lemons) 1 1/2 cups limoncello

Easy, refreshing, delicous!
