You don’t have to drink alone.
Remember Otter Pops, the frozen treat in a clear plastic tube? They were a summer staple in my home growing up. I bought them for my daughter when she was a child too. Now, thanks to Cutwater Spirits, you can have your nostalgia in four adult flavors – Tequila Margarita, Vodka Mule, Gin Melon, and Rum & Cola.
You can make your own boozy popsicles. There are some delicious sounding recipes online. Like this strawberry moscato . But it’s hot, and I don’t want to make a mess in the kitchen. I just want to cool off and maybe catch a small buzz. So I’m off to search my local liquor stores, I’ll report back after I’ve had a chance to try them.
Well those look genius!
Right? I’m heading to the liquor store in the morning!
not drinking this weekend….little annoyed
but meh…got me daughters new boyfriend here
sober me can handle this like a professional dad..lol
pour a couple drinks in me and im gonna start pushing buttons just to see if i can cause either of them to go postal..
suspect that would be a good way to ruin the homelife for a while…soooo sobriety it is *sigh*
You’re a good dad 😊
Good for you! Because my house is empty again, I promise to drink enough for the both of us.
Appreciate that 😉
There are plenty of things that a sober Dad can do to amuse himself and cause unease among a daughter and a new boyfriend.
Back when Jezebel had a thriving Saturday Night Social one of the topics was “worst experience when you brought a date home to meet the parents.” There was a sub-thread concerning musical instruments. One Dad sat down at the electric organ, distributed sheet music, and they spent an hour singing hymns. Another Dad, not Hawaiian, pulled out a ukulele and went all Don Ho, singing and playing traditional Hawaiian songs.
My favorite memory from that topic went something like a Dad pulled his daughter’s boyfriend aside and said, “I’ve been to prison and I’m not afraid to go back. Bring her home by 10 and in one piece, if you know what I mean.”
lol….hmmm…well…ive made it through friday night all well behaved
i make no promises for the rest of the weekend
n tbh…i kinda hate all this keeping up appearances shit… me daughter spent the better part of the week cleaning the house just so she can pretend she isnt the messiest person on earth…. i mean shit…its the first time in at least a year i can see the floor in her room
and im stuck pretending im just a quiet mild mannered dad….instead of a piss taking bastard with a mean streak
I’m annoyed. I’ve been looking online to see where to buy these. I thought I’d get them delivered tonight so they’d be frozen tomorrow. And NOBODY has them. 😡 I had my heart set on boozy popsicles for the weekend.
Guess that kitchen is getting messy!
Looks like it!
bananas, mangos (or any fruits of your choice), tequila and ice.
blend in blender.
frozen margarita
or…put in freezer over night.
frozen margarita and eventual alcoholic slushy (i forget what americans call “slushies”)
Excellent use of bananas other than in conspiracy bread.
All I have is cantaloupe and cherries, the pineapple went on the grill.
Make your own and be not afraid!
When travel to Cuba was relaxed a few years ago I, coincidentally, was having people over. This was actually no coincidence, we used to have people over all the time.
Though it was wintry, or maybe early Spring, I made “Cuba Libre” popsicles. Rum and Coke in a pitcher, swirl it around, pour into the popsicle mold. Very delicious and refreshing. Problem is they melt and I think I got my dog slightly drunk from lapping up other people’s drips on the floor. She was none the worse for the wear but she did sleep particularly soundly.
Did they freeze solid?
Pretty solid but they melted really quickly.
I din’t want to schlep to the liquor store and all I have is vodka. Looking through the cupboard I have some ancient cream of coconut and pineapple juice, so I guess I’m trying frozen vodka pina coladas to watch Hamilton with the family. That’s vaguely appropriate — He was from the West Indies, right?
He was, so it’s very appropriate.🙂
Hannibal that was a real public service! Yum.
I hope you have better luck finding them than I have.
I’m a little curious how this works since alcohol generally doesn’t freeze well.
