Berry Beer and Lime Popsicles

All last summer I was hunting for Popsicle molds.  All I wanted to do was make a variety of fun popsicles to eat on those really hot days.  Everywhere I looked only had those molds that are plugged into the wall and are rather pricey and more extravagant than what I needed.  Finally, in September, I found some cute ones at Ikea and my summer popsicle to-make list grew.  On the top of that list were these delicious pops made from berry beer, strawberries and lime.

I used a Belgian fruit beer called Fruitesse which is flavoured with cherry, raspberry, elderberry and strawberry.  I added some mashed strawberries and lime juice to add texture and flavour.  The result was a delightfully fruity and refreshing pop with just a hint of lime.   It makes the perfect adult dessert after a BBQ on a hot day.
