the popsicle project | week 3: sweet tea shirt time

ahhh i'm a little behind on behalf of being out of the country majority of this week (in paris #namedrop), so scrambled to get this week's popsicle out. could not be cutting it any closer...

thought a John Daly inspired popsicle would be perfect for summer, and an easy one to make. 

what's in it:

ingredients:

• 1 part sweet tea vodka
• lemon/lemon juice
• 1 part water

yeah only two things. i got lazy this week. on the third week. a little too early on in the project to get lazy. blame it on the jetlag?

prep time:

• depends on how long it takes you to squeeze a lemon, so between 14 and 90 seconds

ta da!:

This was by far the worst popsicle I've made. 

I was in a rush to stay on schedule, and Sweet Tea Shirt Time definitely got the short end of that (popsicle) stick. Seeing as how it was mostly alcohol and therefore an extremely high likelihood of not freezing, and actually DID (sort of), I'll take that small victory. I say "sort of" because it only got to the literal BRINK of freezing. As you can see in the photo, the popsicle has a very noticeable gangsta lean, and that's because half of it didnt freeze. 

In fact, 8 seconds after this photo was taken when I went to go taste it, it crumbled into a slushy pile on my kitchen counter/floor. I had to rush to shoo poopsie away so she wouldn't lap it up and get schwastey. (she's fine)

So. It doesn't taste that good either. It tastes like a lot of vodka.

BUT it has potential. Next time I'm changing the ratio, 1 part sweet tea vodka, 3 parts water, and I think we'll have a winner.

And I worked a Jersey Shore mention into the name, always a win to get an on brand before/after ye ye ye.
