Apologies for the hiatus last week, it felt like after eating and drinking my way through Minneapolis with Amanda and Sara, plus visiting Colorado for So Delicious (bonus: got to see my best friend while I was there), I needed a little bit of a breather and more time to watch Broad City while eating ice cream. That’s all fair, right? Anyway, I’m back in the swing of things and was greeted with gorgeous weather when I got back home from Boulder this weekend! There was actually a pretty heavy snowstorm the day I left Colorado, but the weather was 70 and sunny when I returned home, so I figured boozy popsicles were in order. Cashew based horchata popsicles have been on my ubiquitous ‘to-make’ list for quite some time and to be honest, I’m not even sure how I thought of it in the first place. I’m sure the idea stemmed from my old easy Cashew Horchata recipe and I then I decided to add booze, so I guess it wasn’t a great leap to get to popsicles from there.
One of the best things about these cashew horchata popsicles is that they are boozy, but not too boozy, so they freeze up just right and have the right amount of tequila in them to make them feel like a fun summer treat. After shooting these popsicles, I sat down at my dining room table to eat one and just taking that time to pause for a second and enjoy made me realize that this summer, I need more of that. I need more just sitting on the porch and watching the neighborhood pass me by, instead of constantly feeling the pull to be on social media or doing ‘work’ while I do something else. Hard work is totally 100% essential to blogging, but I’m totally ok with going on a bike ride in the sun and leaving my phone at home for a while too. Cheers to hard work and taking the time to just chill with a cashew horchata popsicle!

I’m so glad you came to Minnesota to visit, and also glad you had a little time to yourself at home so you can make these lovely popsicles! And can I confess that I have never made any? That needs to change. I think I would love the horchata creaminess, and tequila, always! xo

The weather has seriously been a blessing recently! These popsicles are such a great way to cool down in the sun 🙂 I am not a huge cold treat fan, but something about the warm weather still has me reaching for ice cream and popsicles, and these look perfect!
