National Grape Popsicle Day is May 27th and I was asked to come up with a cocktail recipe for the occasion. Since it was already hitting summer temps across most of the country I decided to come up with an alcoholic grape popsicle instead. They are not only cooling during hot summer days but are a fun way to put some adult fun in your next summer soiree.
Note: You want the Champagne to be flat, especially if you are using regular popsicle molds because the bubbles (carbon dioxide) could blow the top off your popsicle while freezing.
If you want to serve them in a glass, I suggest placing them upside down in Champagne flutes then topping them off fresh, chilled Champagne.
