Popsicle Recipe with Cherries, Lemon &… Beer!

You read that right: Beer popsicles! These spiked frozen pops are an homage to our childhood summer days, with the adult kick of a crisp, refreshing beer. Fresh cherries and lemon juice are a sweet-tart choice, pairing just fabulously with the honeyed, banana-like flavors of Hefeweizen beer. Get the recipe here.

Feel free to try this recipe with your fave summer brew this season. I used Hefeweizen because it’s my go-to summer beer, but anything light with fruity notes and a bright flavor would be great.

Note: These popsicle treats *are alcoholic*, so be sure to label them carefully if there are any kiddos or underage folks in the household.
