Bourbon and Pineapple Popsicles
Bourbon in a popsicle? That's probably a new way for many to have the tipple. The ice pop is like a frozen bourbon whiskey sour, but with pineapple instead of lemon. Brown sugar adds lip-smacking caramel notes that work with the tart fruit and kick of booze.

Blueberry and Lavender Cream Cheese Popsicles
Back in the day, you likely thought lavender tasted like grandma's soap. Now, your developed palate might appreciate the floral aroma it lends, especially to fruit. If so, this blueberry and lavender popsicle recipe is the thing to make; the balance is just right. The wafers provide a nice bit of crunch and cream cheese lends some delicate tanginess. Think of the cookies as the cone and you have a popsicle and ice cream in one.

Coffee Popsicles
Love iced coffee? Then these coffee popsicles are a no brainer. Latte fans can play with the recipe by mixing instant coffee with different milk ratios to come up with a frozen version of their favorite caffeinated beverage.

Mixed Fruit Popsicles
These pretty purple popsicles are described as "a smoothie on a stick." No offense to our go-to smoothies, but the frozen treat might be even more addictive. This version uses bananas, blueberries, lemon, purple grapes and peaches. Feel free to add and subtract ingredients depending on what you have in the fridge/freezer and what's at the height of its season.

Matcha, Mango and Coconut Popsicles
It is never too hot for this refreshing popsicle recipe. They have a double dose of coconut, thanks to coconut milk and dried coconut. (The latter is nice for those who like a bit of texture in their iced pops.) The versatile recipe can be sweetened with whatever you like including maple syrup, granulated stevia or another sugar alternative.
