People’s Pops, a wildly popular summertime pop-up popsicle stand in New York City, is now revealing their secrets to fanciful frozen treats with the release of People’s Pops recipe book. People’s Pops recipe book features their cult-classic basil raspberry popsicle and 54 others shaved ice and ice pop recipes, including the liquor-laced ones.
The authors/creators of People’s Pops, Nathalie Jordi, David Carrell and Joel Horowitz, felt the world deserved a better ice pop. With this altruistic mission, they started making experimental frozen confections with farmers’ market produce in 2008 from the famed Union Square Greenmarket. Four summers later, People’s Pops are available at 9 locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.
While their non-alcoholic pops can be purchased in the Big Apple, the only way to taste the lush-ious liquor ones are to DIY, following the recipes in the People’s Pops recipe book. Just remember, for the perfect sloshed slushie, the base mixture can’t be more than 20 percent liquor or it won’t freeze correctly.
Via Liquor.com, here’s a sneak peek of the People’s Pops Blueberry Moonshine Ice Pop recipe of fresh blueberries, lemon and un-aged whiskey (my recommend is High West OMG).
With so many cool ice molds out there, a People’s Pops treat in the shape of a gun, karate ninja or scandalous body part, makes for a swingin’ summer soiree snack.
For an ultra cool mod party, check out these stainless steel popsicle molds… even James Bond would goldfinger one of these:
