Bellini Pops

Served 4-6

1 cup (240ml) pomegranate juice
1 ½ cups (360ml) water
½ cup (120ml) vodka
½ cup (100g) sugar
¼ cup (60ml) fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon orange bitters

Instructions

Makes ten-twelve 2.5 ounce Pops

Soak wooden pop sticks in a glass of warm water for at least 30 minutes.

Stir together all ingredients (except optional pomegranate seeds) until the sugar is dissolved. If garnishing with pomegranate seeds, place 5-6 seed in each ice pop mold. Pour ½-inch of the ice pop mixture into each mold and par-freeze for about 1 hour or until the pops just start to freeze. Divide the remaining mixture between ice pop molds.

Insert pop sticks and freeze for 4 hours or until completely solid.
