All American Daiquiri Poptail

Happy July 1^st to everyone.  This is my favorite month of the year.  Why?  Because it’s my birthday month.  My birthday is just a few days away, and I am looking forward to my 31^st.  I am not scared of my age.  I see it as a growing and changing time of my life.  Plus I do not look thirty-one.  If you see me you might think I am just turning twenty.

Since July 4^th is only two days away I wanted to create a poptail for you.  You must be asking what is a poptail.  DO you like popsicles?  What about cocktails? Well there you have it, just combine the two and you got yourself a poptail.  The first time I saw poptails is by Naomi at Baker Royale.  She has some awesome recipes for poptails that I plan on trying.  I love a good drink and if it comes frozen I think it is even better.

If you not a lover of alcohol this is definitely not for you.  But if you are, go ahead and whip up this poptail and let me know what you think.

If you not a lover of alcohol, feel free to omit the alcohol.  But if you are, go ahead and whip up this poptail and let me know what you think.

All American Daiquiri Poptail

Ingredients

Strawberry Layer

3 cups strawberries

4 ounces sugar

2 tablespoon dark rum

Cream Layer

1 ½ cups Greek Yogurt

3 Tbsp. heavy cream

3 Tbsp. Honey

Blueberry Layer

3 cups blueberries

2 tsp. lime juice

4 ounces sugar

2 tablespoon dark rum

Preparation

Wash, dice and pit the white part out of the strawberries and puree with sugar and dark rum in a blender or food processor.  Set aside.  Repeat the same step with the blueberries by picking out any stems or leaves from the blueberries.  You can use frozen berries but I liked using fresh berries.

Combine all the ingredients for the cream layer.  The heavy cream is used to thin out the Greek yogurt so you can have a pouring consistency. And the honey is to sweeten the yogurt so it balances out the taste with the berries.

Assembly

Simply pour alternating the layers starting with the strawberry layer and ending with the blueberry layer into your popsicle mold.  Allow each layer to freeze for at least 30 minutes before pouring the other layer.  When you are 2/3 of the way done you can add the popsicle stick.  I added mines after the cream layer when it was semi-frozen.
