Katie Barszcz for Boston.com


We asked some of Boston’s bartenders, cocktail connoisseurs, and foodies to send us recipes for ice pops for grown-ups — because al fresco beverage consumption shouldn’t be the only leisurely way to keep cool this summer.


Please note: All of these recipes call for a trusty ice pop mold. If you don’t already have one on hand, here are a few do-it-yourself options for makeshift molds that we dug up with a simple search: mini baking tins, vacuum seal bags, plastic cylindrical containers with their lids, ice cube trays with tooth picks (if you’re really desperate), and, of course, Dixie cups.
