the popsicle project | week 9: POGsicle

this week's popsicle comes to you allllllll the way from hawaii. for those of you doing math, that's an 11 hour flight from new york. for those of you keeping track, YES I BROUGHT POPSICLE MOLDS TO HAWAII. that's what we call dedication. or being ocd, but whatever.

katie liz and i did a 3 amigos trip to maui (following carolyn's wedding in oahu which was beautiful!), and in between swimming with turtles and dolphins, wading in lava rock tide pools, and chasing waterfalls, we made some popsicles.

what's in it/ingredients:

• 3 parts pog*
• 1 part coconut vodka

if yall dont know what POG is, it's a hawaiian drink mixed of passionfruit, orange, and guava juices (hence P.O.G.) and it is deeeeeeelicious. all we drank in hawaii was pog. who needs water when you have pog? it looks like this in gallon form:

and not to be confused with pog the game (although folklore/wikipedia points out that pog the game originated in hawaii and was inspired by the cardboard caps in the pog drinks?!). here's a pog pog for good measure/repetition: 

prep time: 9 seconds
i've come to realize this "prep time" section is pretty useless, since for most of them i didnt actually keep track and am just making it up. but either way, this one was pretty straight forward pour and mix so you should definitely be able to do this in under 10 seconds.

ta da!:

rating: ***
this one should actually only get 2 stars, as it was overly sweet, but since i lugged popsicle molds all the way from new york to hawaii, and it is so perfectly hawaii themed, i'm giving it an extra star. katie actually made the cocktail version of this and it was delicious, but something happened when the gallon of POG got into my hands and it was extremely sweet in popsicle form. but it DID freeze and it WAS refreshing, you just couldnt really eat the whole thing without your teeth falling out from instant cavities.

but you know, when in hawaii!
