Beach Treats

Summer to me is all about going to the beach. I love sitting in the sand (although it’s not quite as much fun in Oregon….). One of the best “beach treats” that is equally good anywhere else is a popsicle. And they’re super easy to make.

Make these ahead of your picnic or barbecue, and you’ll have dessert out of the way. Try the grown up version too.

Three versions- all good!

12 oz. juice of your choice – I like to use the mango juice that I find at Uwajimaya
12 oz. oz. carbonated beverage- use Sprite for everyone and champagne for the adults
8 oz crushed or shaved ice

In a blender: Mix well, pour into molds and freeze.

Orange Julius Wannabes

1 quart orange juice
2 cups strawberries
1 cup cream

Blend ingredients until smooth. Pour into molds and freeze.

8 oz seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup orange juice
½ cup vodka (use more juice if you’re making these for kids)

Blend together, pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze.

Tropical Treats

12 oz coconut milk

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ cup rum (omit if necessary)

½ cup flaked coconut

Blend together, pour into molds, insert sticks, and freeze.
