Review: I love making boozy popsicles in the summer. Or, using my ice cream machine to make frozen drinks! This recipe was shared by the NH Maple Producers Association on Facebook and I knew I had to make it! I've bought the bourbon barrel aged maple syrup at Trader Joe's and loooooooove it. It's such a popular trend right now that one of my coworkers tried to make her own, using maple syrup gathered from her own backyard! She kindly gave me a bottle to try and it was super tasty. I figured it was the best syrup to use for these popsicles. Oddly, the maple isn't a strong flavor, but it does seem to balance the bitterness of bourbon and grapefruit. Sadly, I used 2 oz of bourbon to ensure good flavor but it made for a less solid popsicle. I wore most of this one, as it began falling apart as I ate it. Stick with just 1 oz so it will freeze better!
