Blackberry-Lime Gin and Tonic Ice Pops

For the adults, this is a dessert and after-dinner drink all rolled into one. This recipe makes enough for large ice pop molds. It's tempting to add more gin but keep in mind that they will not freeze properly if you do. These are sure to be a hit at your next barbecue!

Ingredients

• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle tonic water
• 4 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 tablespoons gin
• 1 lime
• 24 blackberries, cut in half

Steps

1. Combine tonic water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in gin and let cool while you assemble the ice pops.
2. Cut lime into 6 slices. Cut each slice in half. Place 2 pieces of lime in each mold. Evenly divide berries among the molds.
3. Pour tonic water mixture into the molds through a funnel, leaving a 1/2-inch space on the top. Freeze for 8 hours, or overnight.
