Coconut, pineapple and kiwi are some of the most important fruits in recipes for cocktails that are refreshing.

Nevertheless, there are some things that may be quite useful to get a little more creative when you are preparing these cocktails. The first thing you are going to need is an ice-cream mould. You can find many of these in supermarkets or specialised stores, even in some toy stores and other types of stores.
 

Strawberry Caipivodka

This type of cocktail is considered the Russian version of the Brazilian cocktail called caipirinha. In this version people add vodka instead of white rum. In order to prepare a strawberry caipivodka you will need:
 
• ½ kilo strawberries
• 1 lemon
• ¼ of vodka
• 3 tea spoons of sugar
• Ice
 
Process:
Cut the strawberries in small pieces and blend them in the blender, then add lemon juice. Put the mix inside the cocktail shaker and then serve. Adding some small pieces of strawberry and other decoration can make the cocktail more visually appealing. Leave the mix for 4 to 5 hours inside the fridge.
 

Mojito

This Cuban cocktail is the king of summer parties, and that’s why it cannot be left out any kind of party or small reunion.
 
Ingredients
• 6 to 8 leaves of fresh mint or spearmint
• Half a lemon
• 10 ice cubes
• 20 ml sugar cane syrup
• 40 ml of white rum
• A little bit of soda
 

Process:
You can put all the mixture without the ice, inside the mould to make the poles, because when you leave it in the fridge for a few hours until it freezes and then you will have excellent mojito popsicles.
 

Cuba Libre

This is the fastest of all the cocktails.
 
You need:
• 2 shots of white rum
• Half a glass of lemon juice
• Half a glass of Coca Cola
 
You put everything in the shaker, shake and direct to the popsicle moulds
 

Orange Daiquiri

An awesome alternative to the classic orange popsicle, to prepare it you will need:
 
• 90 ml of white rum
• 2 oranges
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
 
Squeeze the oranges and then throw all the ingredients in the shaker. The last step is to put it in the mould to make popsicles and leave it for 5 hours in the freezer.
 

Bloody Mary

Although it was created many years later, the legend says that this famous cocktail, owes its name to Queen Maria Tudor, who reigned in England during the sixteenth century. The truth is that this queen ordered several executions during his reign which gave him the nickname of “Maria the bloodthirsty”, what in English would be translated to “Bloody Mary” and what undoubtedly explains the red colour that is so characteristic in this cocktail.
 
Ingredients:
• 40 ml of vodka
• 75 gr of tomato juice
• 15 ml of lemon juice
• 2 squirts of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 drops of tabasco
• Salt pepper
 
We put the lemon and the tomato in the blender and when the mixture is very liquid, we put it in the shaker with the rest of the ingredients. Then everything in the popsicle mould and then put it in the freezer for 5 hours.
 

Pina colada

The Pina colada is the ideal cocktail especially for women, because it is sweet and delicate, with which it will be ideal to take it as a polo.
 
We need:
• 1 slice of pineapple (if you like it sweeter it can be pineapple in syrup)
• 60 ml of coconut cream
• 120 ml of white rum
• 180 ml of pineapple juice
• 50 ml of strawberry smoothie
• 2 squirts of condensed milk
 
Everything to the shaker and straight to the popsicle moulds. 5 hours in the freezer and it will be ready for you to enjoy.
 

Sangria

Delicious sangria in the summer. Enjoy this wonderful drink in the shape of a popsicle.
 
You need:
• 2- 3 teaspoons of sugar
• 1 L of economic red wine
• 1 splash of rum
• 1 trickle of gin
• Half an apple
• Half a pear
• Half an orange
• 1/2 L of lemon Fanta
• 1 lemon
 
Chop the fruits in small pieces so that later they fit us in the popsicle moulds. Then we mix the ingredients in a shaker and put it all in the mould before putting it in the freezer for 5 hours.
