Cinco de Mayo Blended Ice Pops
What would a Cinco de Mayo party be without an ice cold margarita or piña colada? To make these traditional Cinco de Mayo drinks colder and more refreshing than ever, we added a twist by turning them into ice pops. They're great for a summer party and can be made with or without alcohol. Use your imagination and try different fruit combinations to wow your family and friends.
