Ingredients:
160g frozen raspberries
120ml filtered water
30g sugar
40ml Gin
280ml tonic water
Juice of 1 lime
Directions:
Make Raspberry Syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the frozen raspberries, water, and sugar.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the raspberries have broken down and released their juices (about 5-10 minutes).
Mash the raspberries gently with the back of a spoon to extract more flavour and colour.
Remove from the heat and let the mixture steep for at least 15-20 minutes.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jug, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Discard the seeds and pulp. Let the syrup cool completely.
Combine with Gin & Tonic:
In a separate jug or mixing bowl, combine the cooled raspberry syrup, gin, and lime juice. Gently stir in the tonic water.
Pour the mixture evenly into your popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
Freeze the popsicle molds for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the popsicles are solid.
To unmold the popsicles, run the outside of the mold briefly under warm water to loosen them. Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to remove.
Enjoy!
