At this point of
summer, the heat is scorching, and I think we are all looking for a good way to
cool down. I thought I would get a little creative and make a unique farm-to-cocktail
experience in the form of adult popsicles.
In order to keep
the farm-to-cocktail theme
authentic and true, I decided to use TILL Vodka in my popsicles. TILL Vodka is
a premium spirit crafted and distilled here in the Midwest, that uses the
finest local ingredients, like premium Kansas wheat.
Whether you use it in
the recipes shown below, or craft your own cocktails with it, you will notice
its crisp smooth finish that will make you proud to serve it to your friends
and family.
For this recipe, I
used seasonal fruits and vegetables purchased from my
local farmers market. I
stopped by the Green City Market and Wicker Park Farmers Market where I found farm fresh peaches and
blueberries from Mick Klug Farms and tomatoes from Nichols Farm.
