1 cup lemon juice
3 cups cherries
1 large green apple
1 lime
1 cup whiskey
1/2 cup of sweet and sour mix

2. Pit cherries; set aside. Peel away apple and lime skin and cut fruit into quarters.
3. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until mixture is pureed. Mixture will be thick.
4. Pour mixture into popsicle forms and freeze for about two hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a popsicle stick upright.

1/4 cup almond butter
Juice from 1/4 a lemon
Cinnamon, ginger, salt

4. Pour into popsicle molds, insert popsicle sticks, and freeze for three to four hours or until they�re solid. To remove them run the bottom part of mold under warm water for a few minutes until the popsicles have loosened. Sprinkle with crushed almond or shredded coconut for garnish.

We're willing to bet you've been eating popsicles since you were a kid spending your summer running through sprinklers. We're also willing to bet that back then it was all Minute Maid lemonade push pops and those Flavor Ice Pops that came in frozen plastic packages.
But now, as a grown up, you can do better. There are way more sophisticated popsicles that look like they came right out of Martha Stewart's freezer. Even better, they're a cinch to make. (No oven required? We're so down).
So when the summer heat hits this year, don't settle for store-bought pops. Check out these ultra-pretty, Pinterest-worthy popsicles that you won't be able to resist making.
