Sugar and Cloth<\/a> here again, back with an amazing recipe to beat the end-of-summer heat! Just when you think watermelon couldn’t make the summer any better, they go and get a little makeover and come back looking cute as ever … and with a splash of rum. I don’t know about you, but that’s just as good as a cabana boy in my book.<\/p>\n![\"watermelon2\"](\"http:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/watermelon2.jpg\")

\nThese spiked watermelon popsicles are sweet, refreshing, and fully equipped with a clever little rind drip tray built in!<\/p>\n![\"watermelon6\"](\"http:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/watermelon6.jpg\")
\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n
yields 12 pops<\/em><\/p>\n\n- 2.5 lbs of fresh, seedless watermelon (basically half of a small melon)<\/li>\n
- 4 tablespoons (or 2 oz.) of watermelon Monin syrup<\/li>\n
- 8 oz. of light rum (or the same amount of orange juice for non-alcoholic)<\/li>\n
- splash of Sprite<\/li>\n
- small, rectangular cuts of rind the same size as your popsicle molds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\n
Cut the watermelon away from the rind and blend it in a blender. Pour it into a bowl or a pitcher with a spout to make it easy to pour into the popsicle molds, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir.\u00a0\u200bPour the mixture into the molds, and insert the popsicle sticks through the rind by making a small slit with a knife. Be sure that the rind fits into the mold just enough to touch the mixture (to be able to freeze into place), but isn’t so small that it falls through the top opening. Then freeze the pops overnight.<\/p>\n![\"watermelon3\"](\"http:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/watermelon3.jpg\")
\n
Before trying to remove the pops from the mold, run the tips of the popsicles in the mold under warm water for about 20 seconds. The popsicles will have a soft texture (as does watermelon), so pulling too hard on them will make them break if you’re not careful. \u00a0Before serving, you can drizzle a little dash of sugar for extra punch and cuteness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
