One of my all time favorite summer drinks is a good watermelon limeade. You know the type that is filled to the rim with crushed ice and is sweet yet sour in every sip. Kinda sounds like a margarita doesn’t it? Well, I like those too, but I promise you that isn’t what I am talking about. These Watermelon Lime Popsicles are just like that; refreshingly cold with a pucker you up sweetness.
In high school, we had this little sub shop right across the street from the school that served amazing sandwiches and limeades. Getting a cherry or watermelon limeade for lunch was seriously the highlight of my day.
Last summer we had a little gas station near the house that had them and I passed the love on to my kids.
This year though? I have had no such luck in finding our new spot for watermelon limeades – so when my kids asked for one the first day the weather went over 50 degrees, I had to get creative.
These watermelon lime ice pops were my best solution for enjoying all the sweet and sour goodness that is in a limeade without having to make an extra trip to the store for a club soda. You can also easily turn this into an adult only treat by replacing the water with tequila and triple sec.
I used half of a small watermelon cut up in chunks, which gave me almost 4 cups of watermelon. I then blended the watermelon chunks in the food processor
