I have a confession. I’ve always been more of an ice cream fan than a popsicle fan. Possibly because ice cream typically just feels more substantial, and popsicles don’t come with cones. But when the forecast stubbornly makes a habit of staying in the thick, muggy 90s for several days straight, I’m definitely more inclined to reach for a popsicle. (And it’s just my luck if I happen to have some in my freezer, while sticking my head inside, as a desperate attempt to get some relief!)
I grew up on Edy’s fruit bars (strawberry), grape popsicles, orange Flintstone Push Pops, and the occasional fudgesicle, which were usually devoured in between runs through the sprinkler. Nowadays? My tastes are a tad more refined, and popsicles have come a long way. And this trend of taking cocktails and turning them into popsicles? I’m totally okay with that. (Hello Pimm’s Cup popsicles, I’ve got big plans for you.)
We know summer wouldn’t be summer without popsicle making, so we’ve hunted down 15 of the best looking ways to cool off we could find! From some funfetti creamsicles that make our inner kid jump up in down, to some oh-so-refreshing plum and basil popsicles, to some sophisticated blueberry mojito popsicles — the summer heat is “cool” with us, as long as we have some of these pretty pops in hand.

Absolutely gorgeous! Do you mind me asking what brand or a link to the popsicle molds you used?
I live just around the corner from a paleta shop but you’ve convinced me to try to make some popsicles. Those mint chocolate pops!
Oh my gosh, we’re so envious, we’d be in that shop every day! Good luck with the pops, they’re so fun to make! :)
I’m with you. I’m usually more of an ice cream girl than popsicles, but I’ve discovered how nice it is to be able to grab one for an afternoon treat! Thanks so much for sharing my Raspberry Cheesecake Yogurt Popsicles! All of the popsicles on here look so good!
