It’s not quite summer in Australia. However I’ve been hoarding some summer recipes for the last couple months, so when I was in Toronto very unexpectedly last week and it was 30+ degrees outside, I whipped out my warm weather recipes and made it happen.
In the form of popsicles.
and cocktails!
Yum…
What’s better than a Saturday afternoon cocktail? followed by bbq’d corn and a boozey popsicle?
Maybe lounging in the sun with your puppy dog?

Yeah. Well nothing beats that…
Meet Lucy. The most photographed dog in history.

She enjoys napping on the counter, drinking from my water glass and sharing popsicles. (the non-boozey kind)
She works the camera.
…
Sometimes I wondering if this dog thinks I have a camera for a face.
ANYWAY…cocktails and popsicles!
Pimm’s is best paired with painted toe nails and lounging in muskoka chairs.
If you haven’t tried this cocktail, then you haven’t sipped summer from a glass. It’s a must do.
Pimm’s Cocktail:
Pimm’s
Sparkling lemonade
Cucumber
Strawberries
Orange
Lemon
Mint
Slice all the fruit and veggies and put them in a jug.
Add 1 part Pimm’s and 2 parts lemonade. (although I prefer a 1:1 ratio… haha or maybe 1: 1.5 if you want to make it past 1 cocktail. :P)
Add some mint, stir it up, serve over ice and drink. Crazy straws are also encouraged.
On to the ‘sicles!
Pina Colada Popsicles!?
Ohhhhh my goodness, so delicious.
Put this on your to-do list as well. You should totally make these. You should also check out this food blog, cause her recipes are delightful! Pina Colada Popsicles! The only alteration I made to her recipe was using Maple Syrup instead of sugar. I’m Canandian. This is what I do.
the fam (and our kick ass backyard)
Oh sweet summer. It was nice to have a little bit of sun on my shoulders and ice coffee in my cup.
It was short and very sweet. I miss you Toronto! I’ll try and visit soon. 😦
stay cool doggie.
