Prep time: 25mins + freezing. Makes 24.
(^1) / (^3) cup (80ml) vodka
½ cup (125ml) elderflower cordial

mineral water
2 tbsp strained lime juice
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves,

1 Combine vodka, cordial, mineral water and lime juice in a medium jug.
Divide mixture between 24 ice-pop moulds (do not fill to top); sprinkle
equally with mint. Wrap the mould tray completely in plastic wrap;
insert ice-block sticks into pops, piercing the plastic – the plastic wrap
will help keep the sticks upright. Freeze 6hrs or until frozen.

juice is frozen.
3 Just before serving, rub the outside of the moulds with a hot kitchen
cloth; gently remove ice pops.
