And as it turns out, the Internet has a lot to say on the matter of spiked popsicles. Here are 20 recipes that caught our eye – be sure to share any favorites in the comments below!

Pimm’s Cup Popsicles (Pimmsicles)
We do like us a good Pimm’s Cup, so a popsicle version of one of our favorite cocktails sounds like the bee’s knees. Save this one for when your British relatives come to town ;) (via The Tiffin Box)

This herbal summertime wonder won us over quickly with the striped gradient. (via Hungry Girl Por Vida)

And last, finally a use for all that melon! According to this recipe, ambrosia is a melon similar to cantaloupe but a little sweeter. If you can’t find ambrosia, you can definitely make this recipe with cantaloupe or honeydew. (via Desserts for Breakfast)
