Think lollipops are just for kids? Think again! I wanted to try making a more sophisticated sucker and succeeded with these cocktail flavored lollipops. I say, “flavored’ because they don’t actually contain any alcohol, but they are inspired by popular happy hour libations. Champagne flavoring combined with Lemon Oil & lemon zest equals a Champagne Cocktail lollipop; Lime Oil combined with a touch of Peppermint Oil and lime zest equals a Mojito; you get the idea.
These lollipops are fun treats for a bridal shower, adult birthday, or even to hand out as novelty thank-you gifts after an event. They would make cute stir sticks as well.
Cheers!
