The ultimate heat wave recipe: Gin & tonic ice pops

Ice lollies or ice pops? IMAGE Magazine editor Lauren thinks everything is ice cream, whether there’s dairy involved or not, which I think we can all agree is disturbingly incorrect. Whatever way you say it, your key to the most delicious of summer days awaits…

Gin & tonic ice pops

Ingredients

• 50ml of the gin of your choice
• 700ml of tonic water
• 1 lime
• 1 cucumber
• Ice-pop Moulds
• Optional: if you’re feeling fancy, you can throw in a scattering of berries.

Method

1  Mix your gin and tonic with juice from the lime.

2  Slice the cucumber and place a slice into your ice pop moulds.

3  Add the gin, tonic and lime juice mix into the mould.

4  Place your moulds in the freezer and leave overnight.

That’s it!
