If you or your kids like lemonade and sour candies, these are the popsicles for you! Lemonade, mango and lime create that sweet and sour taste that’s hard to resist. I found a lemonade that is a little more tart because it has real lemon juice in it, but use whatever kind of lemonade you like. Added to the lemonade are a can of mango nectar and a little fresh lime juice, that’s it! These popsicles are easy, refreshing, tart and tasty!
Once I have everything mixed together, I use my favorite popsicle molds. These are the ones that I also use for Watermelon Lime Pops (also delicious!). Make sure to fill the molds as full as possible so there isn’t a big gap between the frozen popsicle and the handle when you unmold it. I use a container with a handle and a spout to make it easier to pour and try not make a mess. A large measuring cup works well for this too.
You can find the cans of fruit nectar in the juice aisle of your grocery store. They are inexpensive and come in a lot of different flavors that include mango, guava, apricot, pear, and the peach flavor I used for the Ginger Peach Grown Up Slushies!
Once your molds are full, you can pop your popsicles in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight, and once they are set, prepare to have a delicious treat! My son is addicted to these. Not addicted to me trying to take his picture while he eats them, but definitely to the sweet and sour flavor!
